    Sympathetic Joker

    “If you’re going to be crazy, you have to be paid for it, or else you’re going to be locked up.” – Hunter S. Thompson

    “‘Why not remove yourself from your debt of realism
    Which birthed your enslaved mind and your free souls schism
    It’s bound to be worth while
    Paying yourself with a smile…”


    Life is all laughs when you remove the haze of reality
    Unclad souls worry not of shame or normalcy
    Bypass the unrelenting omni-present fallacies
    …That establishment marks as thinking straight
    Why cower from the dark & the demons which lie in wait?
    Pretending you’re more than rabid
    Transcend sanity – an idea impure and rancid

    My manner of thought is a paradox and parallel
    To the unrighteous-paragon, that renders reality jailed
    …by chains of freedom; pure and undiluted
    The vision of liberation I see is far from that reputed
    ….by lawman and vigilante alike
    Madness is joy and the Will to reason is plight

    Akin to all incongruities
    I was birthed by an idea and it’s duality
    It is not rage which flows through me
    Just an ache to see the ties that bind Undone
    The fabric of society – comes off as a bad pun

    I have a joke for you
    A bit of slapstick humor; catch my shtick
    The humor of your daily routine won’t relent
    You say your prayers and then repent
    Cast out your abnormalities – stigmatize and resent
    I find it funny, it’s quite a laugh
    To watch you all take the beaten path
    Walking in single-file; each soul afraid to ask
    Is our idea of right, RIGHT?

    I’ve a new way to live your day-day
    Let the sentiments of normalcy fade away
    ‘Weird’ is a striking sensation which won’t decay

    My whole life long I’ve battled solemn tendencies
    Fighting against a series of unsmiling enemies
    Souls a-plenty find no calm center in the storm of wrath
    Discontentment’s winter and it’s constant splinter will pass
    When corruption enters – ignorance amassed by falsehood's mask

    I could save you but it’s too damn bad
    You won’t listen to a man gone mad...

    Re: Sympathetic Joker

    I love the message in this piece, it has a dionysian quality that I can appreciate (I've been reading a lot of Nietzsche)and, of course, it is well written. I love the subtle elements that really make this shine: the consanance in the beginning of the 4th stanza, the repetition of day in the 6th, the stick/shtick pun, etc. Etc. The whole piece was serendipitous and resonated with me. I'm glad I stopped in to read it.
