Why am I not a royal
I work and try and stay loyal
Yet here I'm discarded
By the Kings and Queens
I can't even be a Jack or Ace
I'm nothing but entertainment
For those who think they are above
But what if the Joker
Was higher than them all
A combination of all minds
With strengths filled by others
Some call it a leech
Others see it as balance
Let me be free of your constraints
Or I will break free
Where the shrapnel lands is not up to me
But if it hurts you I'd be filled with glee
Watch as the your Jesters
Climb above you in laughter
As they begin to rule from above
And let the shame they once felt
Feel you with dread.
