...a song that I wrote recently..,© copyrighted...filmed by my beautiful wife...
1-From a distance all I saw
Was a pleasant and fair land
No mountains or struggles
For any woman or man
But, the rhymes and the riddles
Were both dark and cruel
Instead of the Prince
It was a place where the jester
ruled
2-Vanity and pride
Were paraded back then
Hypocrisy and lies
Before men
When the second act ended
And the curtain fell
The jester was summoned
To close the fairy tale
3-Smitten with angst and anger
There was an attempt to entertain
But, the traps and the dangers
He couldn't conceal nor contain
His purpose and intents
Were exposed in the spotlight
The Prince's robe was rent
As he turned from the sight
4-And wickedness and poetry
Evil and artistry
On the stage and in full view
For all the world to see
They were mesmerized
Unable to turn away
The attractiveness was too much
They were held by it's sway
5-Visions and versions
Come to light
Peace and aspersions
Slice by slice
Clarity and refractions
Reflections in a frame
The clock will erase the hope
Of the jester and all of his games...
