Tragic Comedy

Two differing masks

What's happening to society is two sides of the same sad coin, a play house of the extreme and the absure
One side a frowning figure represents
The deadly seriousness of this moment
The other is the fool jester laughing
Because, after all, no thinking man can
Take the events swirling around him
As anything else but a joke, a reality too absurd for words; he laughs at the idiot
In Generalissimo clothing playing a five
Year old's game of pouting, angry tantrums, then more pouting, basking
In the adulation and the yes, worship
Of millions; misguided, blinded, and lost.
