Is It a Dream World

A funny little clown, a bright red nose. Lots of make-up, and bright blue bows. Children laughing, some fat and some thin. Either dressed in new clothes or rags that are faded and dim. Pretty white ponies with beautiful glittery saddles. And again, those funny clowns are hitting eachother with paddles. One clown keeps fallimg and pretending to cry. The other is daydreaming and lets out a big sigh. There are beautiful ladies whose costumes are rare. And a man who scares the children by dressing up as a bear. Fantasizing is a convienient thing, it keeps the shock low. So the surprise about the real world won't be such a big blow. "Surprised about what"? is what you ask next. Its something you can't learn in a text. You'll learn about life by the things you go through. You'll learn about whats fake and about what is true. You'll see that the clowns are still funny and have a red nose. But then you'll see realize only money buys the ladies rare clothes. That's also when you realize your clothes are faded and dim. And you recognize how many times you've been beaten by him. Yes, those clowns with paddles are at it again. Funny. They are married and they're children number ten. Thier children are scared and crying in bed. Because thier big mean daddy made thier sweet mommy dead.
