The Clown Show

The clown show has come to town
While the bankers watch their children drown
Led by a cruel and weak fool
Unaware that he is being used as a tool
Each clown has a singular trait
With lies to flatter and obfuscate
While the majority welcome this vacuous parade
The different and marginalized look on afraid

If the clowns are not fed and suffer
They will feed on each other
A clown knows no loyalty
Even to royalty
Kings that are made
Are just facilitating the charade

And the clowns like the cacophony
With pretensions to theocracy
They are singularly ill-suited
For the what they have instituted
And nobody is laughing
At what the clowns are choreographing
We are all just trying to hunker down
When the clown show comes to town.
