There are some things <br />I just don’t understand <br />Like how they praise his talents <br />When he clearly has none <br /> <br />Or maybe they are right <br />and I am wrong <br />Because what harm really <br />What harm can be done <br /> <br />If his crime is simply vanity <br />How can that really hurt anybody <br /> <br />Or maybe he’s not even vain <br />Maybe he’s just a little bit insane <br />And all those who love him <br />Are they just being humane <br /> <br />I guess I’ll never know <br />Is it for real, or for show <br />Is it transparent <br />Or bedecked in gold <br />Is he or is he not <br />Wearing a robe <br /> <br />I guess I’ll never know <br />If the joke is on me <br />All I can do is bow to him <br />Like everybody <br /> <br />© 2009 Sonya Florentino<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sad-joke/
