they sent me down to help your performance out.
oh great…now weve got the mask of the actual death
no the mask of the merry death actually bringing you the message of joy that after you escape the flesh realm theres more positive bright things in the light abode of being
so where are you coming in in the script then

the after death merry light at the end of the tunnel mask
right ok

What colour is death?
well…..he has no colour
how do you know its a he
could be a she
or a she he
whats a she he
well its both.

death has no colour it is not white black brown or ginger
is ginger a colour?
death has no mercy it kills all black white red
red?……dont you mean burnt….
so your saying black people are not really black they are just sun tanned
and white people are not really white they are just cold tanned
cold tanned whats that……

black people who did not like the sun much went north and became white
and white people who did not like the cold to much went south to hotter climates
and became black
mask?”so your saying we are all the same?…
yes!
