A merry, mirthful clown, I came upon a town Where the stench of despair Hung heavy in the air And the ghosts within the town Wandered aimlessly around ******* dry the joy of others Delivered with the kiss of lovers. No laughter can be heard Or the trilling of the birds, Only the silence of the tomb In this ugly, poisonous womb, Giving birth to fear and sorrow With no hope of a tomorrow, Spreading illness and infection Eradicating all affection. And though I long to leave, I am granted no reprieve. A sad and lonely clown I cannot leave this town.
