disconnected again

disconnected again

all the information one could ever want

about you, but you still don’t understand

people selling peanuts

at the Circus

and Clowns

all around

buying the Cotton Candy

letting the kids

get all sticky

and the lesson’s remnants

endures

got a Wet Nap ?

Daddy wants a Beer

or two

or a few

yes, let us drink our convictions

into submission

or at least try

and the clowns

all around

are crying

with laughter

painted upon their faces

the Ringmaster dressed

to distinguish him self

from the rest

of the performers

and the daring ones

swinging in the air

letting go

catching

letting go

catching

the rings of their salvation

challenging the odds

while we gasp in awe

at their bravery and courage

and the age of entertainment

and narcoleptic souls

for sure endures

the inquisitive minds

of the young,

for some day soon

they must sleep as well

do tell

were you ever told

about the Lion tamers

and Circus gamers

and Jugglers

and Acrobats

who mimic life

within life

funny i think

the 3 Rings of Barnum

and his magic

do make us compelled

to forget

that beyond the tent

life awaits us

with her harsh reasoning

and the Circus season

will soon end

then what

disconnected again

popcorn anyone ?
