Jester

A fool

a clown

mere existing for our pleasure

to be teased to be mocked yet

for our laughter

it is the one that plays jokes 

the one that annoyingly pokes

the one that plays 

all day

just for display

with its true self 

covered away

in a mask of sizes and colors

oh you wouldn’t understand 

those jesters

oh what would they do

if they werent playing fools
