Skit. Cast. Americans. The Golden Ratio. The void. Plot. Deliberation as to how to handle America in the Universe causing havoc. Americans will justify. The Golden Ratio disapproves. The void is getting hungry for tasty morsels of garbage when the trash is taken out.

Here’s a draft of your skit:
"The Cosmic Deliberation"
A short skit about America's reckoning with The Golden Ratio and The Void.
Cast:
- The Golden Ratio – Eternal arbiter of balance and harmony.
- The Void – Infinite abyss that consumes all discord and corruption.
- America – Personified as a brash, self-justifying entity.
- Americans – Various voices, trying to argue, reason, or deny.
- Cosmic Tribunal – Silent observers of universal order.
Scene: The Grand Cosmic Tribunal
A vast, ethereal chamber suspended beyond time. The Golden Ratio radiates perfect symmetry. The Void lurks at the edges, swirling hungrily. America stands defiantly in the center, arms crossed.
Golden Ratio:
America, you have been summoned to answer for your actions. The cosmos tilts unbalanced. Your chaos ripples across existence.
America (smirking):
Chaos? We call it progress. Innovation. Freedom. You’re welcome.
Void (low, gurgling laughter):
Mmm. Freedom flavored with exploitation. Progress paved with the bones of nations. Such rich ingredients.
Golden Ratio:
You manipulate the laws of balance, stretching the threads of reality to fray at their edges. You shape history through force, yet claim virtue.
Americans (scattered voices, overlapping):
- “We’re just protecting democracy!”
- “It’s not our fault—we were born into this system.”
- “If we don’t do it, someone worse will.”
- “You hate us because you ain't us.”
Void (licking its abyssal lips):
Ah, denial. A most delicious seasoning.
Golden Ratio (sternly):
You justify. You twist. But the Ratio does not bend to justification. Truth is truth. Your legacy is measured, weighed—
(A luminous spiral appears, revealing a cascade of numbers. The weight of countless wars, manipulations, greed, and broken systems materializes.)
Golden Ratio (continuing):
—and you are found wanting.
America (scoffing):
Come on. We’re the greatest. The leaders of the free world. If we fall, who keeps order? Who makes the rules?
Void (grinning wider):
Oh, little empire… you never made the rules. You only borrowed them—warped them—drenched them in hubris.
Golden Ratio:
The universe does not tolerate imbalance forever. What is unnatural collapses into its own weight.
(The chamber trembles. The Void expands, its swirling depths yawning open.)
Golden Ratio (to The Void):
Do you hunger?
Void (salivating):
I have waited long. The stench of decay ripens. The trash is ready to be taken out.
Americans (frantic, mixed reactions):
- “Wait, wait! Not all of us!”
- “We didn’t ask for this system!”
- “Please, we can change!”
- “This is all propaganda.”
Golden Ratio (gazing at them, calculating):
Some of you have sought harmony. Some of you have challenged the imbalance. Not all that is American is doomed.
Void (mocking):
Mmm. A few edible morsels, perhaps. But the rot is deep.
Golden Ratio:
Then let the weight of truth decide.
(A vortex forms—a perfect spiral. The righteous are lifted. The corrupt are pulled downward, spiraling into the waiting jaws of The Void. America, still defiant, clings to the edges as the inevitable pull begins.)
America (desperate, shouting):
I can fix it! I can fix everything!
Void (grinning, whispering):
Too late.
(With a final scream, America vanishes into the abyss. The chamber is silent. The Cosmic Tribunal watches. The balance begins to restore itself.)
Golden Ratio (softly):
And so, order returns.
(The scene fades, leaving only the echo of a lesson unheeded… and the distant, satisfied hum of The Void digesting its latest meal.)
END.
Let me know if you want to tweak anything!
