grease paint
a clown with bright red lips
Diamond shaped blue eyes
he dips
he who laughs
laughs longest
he
who cries
And quite savagely
there are few who will listen
even fewer will care
a broken soul
who few will share
from a broken home
lost alas
and left to roam
the violent streets and alleys
where
who can hear
this white mouse moan
beaten up he All alone
To lower levels where he might
draw some money to
feel the plight
and to buy some warmer clothes at night.
