POEMS

Clusterfuck Circus

​Welcome to Clusterfuck Circus
The most dangerous show around
Where ignorance and hypocrisy
And narcissism abound
The cries are pain-filled and bloody
But no one hears a sound
Not when the Greatest Distraction On Earth
Comes sauntering into town
Forget your troubles,
Forget your cares,
Forget reality,
Forget your fears
‘Cause here at the Clusterfuck Circus
There are illusions to be sold,
Fantasies to be crafted,
Lies to be told,
Seeking your latest delusion?
Come on up, we’ve got plenty!
You’ll be so drunk on make-believe,
You won’t see that your cup is empty
Your pockets have been pilfered,
Into poverty you’ll perish
You’ve gambled and sold and compromised
All the things you cherish
“But I didn’t mean to do it!”
It doesn’t matter what you meant
In all your ignorant and blinded zeal
You gave up your consent
And now the life you thought you knew
Is caught beneath the rubble
Never in your wildest dreams
Could you imagine this much trouble
All because you got caught slippin’
Reveling in glitz and glamor
You missed all the calamity,
Ignored all of the clamor
And while the aware were jumping ship,
You were all too enraptured,
They knew they could imprison you
Once your attention was captured
So welcome to Clusterfuck Circus
You’re worse off than when you came,
You should’ve heeded the warnings,
Don’t hate the messenger - hate the game.
