Traveling Jester


The gates open for a vagabond with a smile, a clown with no home who has lived all alone, who never stays for a while. His hopes and dreams as it seams is to bring joy to the masses to the multitude that passes with his warm smile that gleams. A shallow man? perhaps but please reconsider for the vagabond jester tries only to bring laughter for in his heart, a disaster a man who fell for all the traps. And this is the game he plays: As a man so broken he puts all his hope in brightening up their tomorrows to counteract the sorrows eventuated by his yesterdays. The lowly clown entertains not wishing the pain to furthermore gain another denizen’s soul or heart, and after he’s done playing his part, the vagabond jester bids to depart to travel with his humble mission again
