The clown who wore a crown
Political Satire
Democracy
Oligarchy
When Laughter Dies
You must have heard
it has been said
the crown just sailed
above his head
It landed softly
and hurt no strand
the colors loudly
like gold and spray tan
They all would laugh
but would not dare
to show their teeth
or fight his snare
He ate the rich
and ate the poor
and never done
he ate some more
The press was silenced
as so too of speech
Scientists could only study
the golden peach
Late night tweets and so called truths
confused the generals and most of the troops
and too his aides and all the followers
was it true, the golden showers?
The genius spoke
with simple words
regurgitated by foxes
their tails unnerved
but truth be told
we all should frown
we all lost
the day the clown wore the crown
