Tears of a Clown


Time and time again

Our time is up

Our time runs out…

On this round and round

Merry-go-round.

Life is short they say,

while to some it drags on.

The happy facade in this

killing race,

is sometimes just a smiling face.

While beneath the charade of

larks and laughs,

dwell deeper thoughts

of strife and woe…

What’s going on? Where did our love go?

So many questions,

and so little remedy, 

for what ails us in fast times,

Nowhere to run when

Our time is up.

Between war and superfreaks

it’s an uptight chain of fools…

Time we break the rules,

Let’s get serious,

Love is here. 

It’s the same old song,

we just have to learn

to get along.

Break the chain, or it will

end the same.

Let love lead the way…

to a new dawn, a new day!

Come on people wash those

fearful tears away.

And let your precious Love…Shine!
