have you ever been to a circus?

clowns with funny faces abound
ring leaders moving chess pieces
without thinking.
what are they working at?
Oh, I see
Petrol in this money making machine.
Proverbial whips
cracka lackin'
tigers perform
without being fed
wanna see me do a trick?
who holds the power here?
the paying audience
stuffing their fat faces?
or the performers being
denied their wages?
take me to your leader!
Oh No, I Jest!
I've been captured,
shirt snagged on the master's hook
you've weathered this riddle through
you've seen with your 2 glazzies
my current engagement finds these symbols true
It's probable there'll be more to come
for aggro in a man's heart
prompts these disheartening thoughts
