Court Jester

Court Jester I have been made to play the king’s jester’s fool Dancing around the majesty’s imperial pool His queen laughs heartily not knowing my pain To be their constant entertainment is my distain They make me a spectacle for all the court to see Then toss me out like a stray dog covered in fleas What makes me different from royalty was my birth To a family in the wrong gene pool is my life’s curse What makes them superior is their royal blood line But who made that decision to make them divine? Was it God or man who put them in their high place? Why was I born into a lifetime of mockery and disgrace? Aren’t we the same underneath our rags or royalty clothes? Our bodies we have in common but it’s my blood they loath. You have been born royalty wearing your sovereign ring But when I die I will live in eternity with the one true King So, go ahead have your fun and make me your king’s fool For in heaven I will receive my own golden crown of jewels
