(Prologue) (Enter Chorus of …..Cats, Dogs, Rats, Bears, Foxes, Tigers and other animals)
Chorus: Donkeys don’t have religions Yet they are not atheists They bray and shake their heads Whenever they see a worship place. Here begins a donkey-human drama Of massacre mayhem and religious trauma.
(Curtain goes up two donkeys one white and one black are seen.)
White Donkey: (Shakes its head and brays seeing a worship place.)
Black Donkey: (Seeing the white donkey goes near it and joins him in shaking and braying.) (Voices of weeping and crying are heard from far away places.)
Voices: Kill them… Roast them alive… Cut them to pieces……..let no one escape…!
Louder voices: Let no one escape Throw the bombs…. Shut the doors. Set fire Burn alive. Here…..that goes the ….Ma…dar….. (Cries and shouting are heard from distance…..police firing heard.)
Voices: Don’t spare either a female or a child. Tear the clothes and take them off, The soft flesh is easy to roast!
Black Donkey:(to the white Donkey) Brother what is this fuss?
Black Donkey: Don’t you know brother? They are human beings!
(Enter a man…seeing them goes near and ask)
Man: Humps..! Fools…! What are ye doing? White and black shaking heads together! How came this unity?
White Donkey: Ah… its very simple sir, we are not human beings. We can live united.
Man: But you both are of unequal size shape and colour…. Then how can you live united?
Black Donkey: Well sir... We don’t have scriptures. We don’t have prophets. We don’t have Gods and Goddesses. We don’t have incarnation of supreme heroes! That’s why we can live united.
White Donkey: We are non religious, But not fanatics like you.
Man: Fanatic! Do you call me fanatic?
White Donkey: Of course sir!
Man: How? How..? How..?
Black Donkey: The whole mankind is rotten. It stinks! It stinks! You murder your brother And rap your neighbour’s daughter Neither you spare a lady nor a babe To achieve your goals you always stab.
Black Donkey: You have scriptures but not sense. You have prophets but not pity. You are human but not humane.
White Donkey: You do massacre and mayhem, In the name of religions.
Black Donkey: You fight for the worship places.
Man: Oh…understood now! That strife of worship place.
Black Donkey: Strife…strife my foot. If such controversy arises among us… We don’t go there even for Uri…. (Disturbs white donkey)
White Donkey: Brother I want to pee…..!!!
(Enter Chorus of cats dogs rats and bear)
Chorus: Here ends the donkey human play. Of rotten human beings and their violent way. Therefore all ye gathered here, Cats, dogs rats and bear. Say adieu to rotten humanity, That cannot maintain unity.
(Exit) (curtain goes down)
