The circus is coming to town and we are so excited <br />The circus is on its way and everyone’s invited <br />Elegant and talented acrobats on a string <br />Lions and stripes jump through fire rings <br />Elephant’s in pink bowing on one knee <br />A clown upside down hanging from the clouds <br />And then you’ve got me <br /> <br />I’m the monkey in the middle <br />It’s like I’m invisible, blending with the circus of life <br />I’m just another act piled in the stack, <br />I’d tell you to watch your back <br /> <br />When dawn breaks the circus will surrender <br />To its pretender, collecting dust on the road so long <br />Our reputation will blend with the fool we represent <br />Becoming camouflage, hiding underneath the stars <br /> <br />Romeo and Juliet, haven’t got that far yet <br />Another cage, another act <br />Two for one, a heart attack <br />Dawn is near to break the chain <br />Show the world that love is genuine <br />That love is pain, in the game <br />In the circus that we call life <br /> <br /> <br />(2010-Esther Douek)<br /><br />Life in a Poem<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-circus-a-day-in-the-life-of-poetry-poetry-gone-wild/
