Carnival Days
Don't ever laugh at carnival folks.
They're just an exaggerated reflection of ourselves.
They swallow glass-fire and cutlery
the very things that allow us to eat.
They're morbidly obese and skinny
while most of us are somewhere in between..
The strongman isn't so strong
there's a gun under his pillow
he dreads another day
but don't we all at times
feel the same-
There's something to be learned from carnival folks.
Lessons in moderation - humility-humanity
We all will be eating glass -fire and metal someday.
(just like carnival folks have been doing their entire lives)
Listen to the carnival folks and never laugh at them
they know things that we don't.
