Side Show

Come look at the side show,
Mirrors of life and smoke of fun.
Enter in, all those who care to see
To see the adventures that wait for thee.

We have prizes and games,
Distractions abound,
Drop all your cares
Your burdens resound.

Fill your mind with thoughts of hope,
Thoughts of peace,
Thoughts joy
And thoughts of glee.

Care not for what ventures outside in the world,
You see inside here we have fun.


But if you are curious
Not blind to see
Slip through the crowd
And the laughter of youth

Enter the main stage
Where no ones aloof,
And here the cries of many,
All that go unseen

The attraction is hard
And course to the ears
The laughter is mixed
With crying and tears,

Half of the room wails
Out of fun
The other half screams
As life is undone.

So if you are distracted
Wanting happy fun tears
Then stick to the side show
With glorious cheer,

But if the truth
Is what thou dost seek

Then search!

Search for the small center stage,
The one that is hidden
Dark like a cave
Only few enter and know what abounds,
And many who enter
Are struck right down.

Struck with a lie
That entices them ‘ore
Or hit in the head
Lying beaten galore.

And there you will stay
For you have entered in
Either caught in the lie
And distraction within.

Or there you will stay
As a bloody one joined
Joined to those who cry
For they are the unseen.
