The Clowns and the Jester

A poem By Ross E F Lombardi

.

The Jester says things funny,

The jester said the things, -

- That the King could not see.

The Jester told the truth.

They spoke for you and me.

.

The Clowns were never funny.

Clowns distract the Royal Court –

- Take their minds off you and me.

The Clowns spread convenient lies.

Hide the reality of what to see.

.

The Clowns hate the Jester.

Take their voice and breath away.

Obsessed with what the Jester wants to be.

The Clowns want to Cancel Shadow Ban our Jester.

Take our Jester from you and me.

.

The Jester makes us Laugh and Cry.

The Clowns don’t make us laugh at all.

The Clowns are just CREEPY!

The Jester makes us think and question all.

The Clowns are just SILLY!

.

The Clowns do not like you.

The Clowns Hate the Jester.

They Hate both You and Me!

The Clowns are in the Government.

The Clowns control the TV!

.

The Clowns are not brave souls.

The Clowns do not like Comedic Risks!

The Clowns want a Success Guarantee!

The Clowns don’t like a game that is NOT rigged!

The Jester bravely dies on the Stage.

Who will you choose to be?!
