Poem to recognise an Inauguration
Toys in the cupboard
Puppets Dummies
Stuffed ones all
Not real
But tho sawdust brains
Somehow they move
Maybe some little imp
Of man
Our humans dark side
Wanted mischief.
People in history
Like cruelty
Don’t they
Public executions
Social bullying.
So here they come.
Marching
Sawdust brained
But powerful.
At their head
Clowns. those
Big smiles hide
Sad dropped moths
Don’t they but
Also, no.
The very head.
The big round head
Of the biggest clown of all and
Behind his smile
Evil eyes.
