Wanted! A Clown Incognito |
||||||||||
|
Beware of the feats of a veteran clown incognito Who is a myopic judge and underfed humped gambler Convention, foresight, love and reason are whose cosmetic hues. He is a royal merchant whose ship capsized along the shore He is a serpent, a thief, an alligator and a sage behind single visage His gadgets have varied standards Builds shrines for the dead and spoils the living Lacks sight and pretends insight With a storm in his head, his manifesto is the same Behold his hurried acceptance of crushing defeat The authorities look at their brainchild aghast A diseased, incorrigible and humble puppet of sand A self-mocking savage, a lip-tight icon A drowning carcass, an exhausted hound. Vain glorious idolater, blind to the apex threads. Wages war and signs the armistice in the same breath A spoiled child, whose morals vary across the frontiers. A mysterious vase, a beauty without truth Toppled numerous gods for his personal throne His infinite prophetic flights bear true witness to his godly genius But his doglike ambush attacks on the left over, deny this claim. A Stone, who has set ablaze his credentials of innocence He is a poor mercenary pawn and a chessman simultaneously. Such a notorious and familiar stranger he is and still at large. May he be residing in your heart, arrest him and undress him.
