The Tears of a Clown



WHO ARE YOU....THAT YOU SHOULD CRY!

For the warmth of your mothers touch

For the carefree joys of your youth

For past moments that are gone forever


WHO ARE YOU....THAT YOU SHOULD CRY!

For the pain that you think you are experiencing

For the love that you think you are missing

For the babies that you think are dying


WHO ARE YOU....THAT YOU SHOULD CRY!

For images of death & destruction

For man’s inhumanity to man

For a world of insanity


WHO ARE YOU....THAT YOU SHOULD CRY!

For the contradictions…That appear…That cannot be understood
For a life that is gone in but a blink of an eye
For being too negative & not positive enough
For being weak & not strong
For being female
For being black
For being this
For being that
For being
For
For
For.....?.........Being A Clown
