    • I'm gonna be dumping random thangents, thoughts in my mind I just have to let out. I hope no one minds, but thoughts are poetry right?

    Poem Commentary

    So anyway, I take the Jester archetype, mix it with playing card motifs, and yet again parody the high on life gangster raps of the old days :D

    I Am The Joker

     Here we are at the table,
    Stakes are piled,
    Aces high,
    Joker's wild.
    Straight out famous,
    Locked and Dangerous
    Looks set to stun
    Double fire power in these guns.

    You look in fiction,
    And what to you see?
    You see me,
    Straight out a comic book,
    More live than electricity.
    The Archtype is plain,
    And there to see,
    But it's clear you never met me.

    Some see the fool,
    I see the power, 
    Give me the time,
    And I turn it to hours.
    The jester in the court
    The clown high on life.
    The kind of guy,
    You'd never at look twice.

    But there I am,
    The Cheshire cat,
    The fox getting hounded
    By the Raven quothing "nevermore"
    Rat-a-tat-tat
    Is the sound of my gat.
    As the joke character 
    Gets lethal.

    So you see the smiles
    I see your denial
    That I'm just a dream.
    But I assure you I'm there.
    More real than you've ever seen.

    Because I am the smoker,
    I am the choker,
    I'm the broker,
    The stoker.
    More over,
    I'm the goddamn Joker.

    All bets are off.

    Naw, no one pissed me off when I wrote this haha. This is mostly just me saying "To everyone who doubts me thinking I'm some goofball, I'm the most dangerous card in the deck, with my own style that I make work"

    Awesome :D Thanks for reading :D

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
