My astute sadness falls in to obscurity As my beleaguered heart drowns in madness Yet, I enthusiastically embrace this majority Grinning at my tortured exuberant canvas A crooked smile, my face spreading wide Gashes upon my past, brought to life The twisted anarchy is my pride Following a path on the edge of a knife The out-flowing insanity, my soul enveloped My obtuse feelings rushing in to disarray The bitter darkness my spirit developed My past life, willing to betray I welcome and revel in my malevolence Being called the Dark Prince I am a mad ruler, benevolent Giving me a wild pleasure, seen as nonsense None can see in to my thoughts Anarchic wanderings floating around I burn all that I have bought Burn it all to the ground Burn it all. The people who walk in comfort with their morally loose ideals. Darkness needs to be dragged out from within, as we all need to be saved from societies twisted obligations. They need to fall in to primitive anarchy to truly see themselves. I do not have another equal, none Even my dark rival disappoints me His presence gives me some fun Yet I shall fall from grace His justice is a personal vendetta Derived from beliefs he created Based on an iron law Prosecuted by the judge, himself He always hides in black, he thinks he is a dark soul. Always brooding, confronting my very mind. He is the only friend I have, the only interesting aspect of my life. And even though I wish him dead, i wouldn't know what to do afterwards. So I crown myself in white and green Red splashed across my lips As I look in the mirror, clean I ask... Why so serious

The Dark Prince (Ode to the Joker)
My astute sadness falls in to obscurity As my beleaguered heart drowns in madness Yet, I enthusiastically embrace this majority Grinning at my tortured exuberant canvas A crooked smile, my face spreading wide Gashes upon my past, brought to life The twisted anarchy is my pride Following a path on the edge of a knife The out-flowing insanity, my soul enveloped My obtuse feelings rushing in to disarray The bitter darkness my spirit developed My past life, willing to betray I welcome and revel in my malevolence Being called the Dark Prince I am a mad ruler, benevolent Giving me a wild pleasure, seen as nonsense None can see in to my thoughts Anarchic wanderings floating around I burn all that I have bought Burn it all to the ground Burn it all. The people who walk in comfort with their morally loose ideals. Darkness needs to be dragged out from within, as we all need to be saved from societies twisted obligations. They need to fall in to primitive anarchy to truly see themselves. I do not have another equal, none Even my dark rival disappoints me His presence gives me some fun Yet I shall fall from grace His justice is a personal vendetta Derived from beliefs he created Based on an iron law Prosecuted by the judge, himself He always hides in black, he thinks he is a dark soul. Always brooding, confronting my very mind. He is the only friend I have, the only interesting aspect of my life. And even though I wish him dead, i wouldn't know what to do afterwards. So I crown myself in white and green Red splashed across my lips As I look in the mirror, clean I ask... Why so serious
This poem isn't my personal views. Just a thought of the Joker and how he falls slowly in to madness.
