He took the paper from his inside pocket - unfolded it - looked in the camera - thanked the academy - and began his speech:
And I cherish you, lovers, artists, peacemakers, loyal spouses
I am sorry that I was for long not the one I should have been
And though I tried, also could not be who you wanted that I was
I could not even be me, he that I myself wanted that I was
What have I been then or rather who then what or not
Does that really matter, I was not myself, I not me
While I longed to be the happy free being that I once was
So many years back, so much suffering ago, oy forgiveness
Sweet, lovingly, cheerful that what society took from me
And that, in his name, I will not forget, but I will come again
I shall return in myself I shall be in me again out the shadows
And be allowed to sit at his feet, in the light, salvaged and child
With him to judge you and you, his reign will be so utterly different
As I am allowed to unhappiness as long as this planet is flawed
So long as I am broken, yes split, I am allowed to be imperfect
To be doleful for the I is much too dominant in me and you
There should be room for you and others and not just focus on me
See why his ruling shall be so different, so mark my outcry
And be jubilant with the unhappiness in this foul world
Not everyday can be fun, not every person in your life can be witty
What will you do to make this a better world, a less plastic society
Be finally independent, in mind and behaviour, not necessarily financially
The latter is the pitfall this artificial world has set for you and me
The trap you laid yourself is that you expect perfection from every other
And you not being perfect is your everyday hardship, your outcry
Remember his judgement may be different ¡but keep in mind, mine will not!
He gave a last sassy smile in the camera - folded his unread paper - put it back in his pocket - and turned - the public silenced….
