Life


Life is a circus Under the big top of society Rules set But made to be broken Roles to play But I want to improvise Hardships and obstacles Clowns with sad faces Beautiful feats of talent and amazement Acrobats flipping and flying through the air Goals set and achieved In the center, the ring master Hopes for the future Awe and wonder in the eyes of a small child Tricks and liars revealed by dubious adults
