Homeboy Clown (Conclusion)
Every smile has a frown
In the life of a clown
We all hide behind painted faces
Our mind is our cell
Our own state of hell
Dreaming of far away places
We keep dreaming of free
Something we’ll never be
As our hopes drown in our fears
Our number is our name
Our life is our shame
Distorted by all of our tears
The years turn us cold
Over hearts we can’t hold
Our love is replaced by our hate
There is just one conclusion
It is all but an illusion
Because we create our own fate
---------------------------------------
We all hide behind painted faces
Dreaming of far away places
As our hopes drown in our fears
Distorted by all of our tears
Our love is replaced by hate
Because we create our own fate
Just a ghost inside a "Homeboy Clown"

The conclusion is basically a rhyming Couplet
that has a non-rhyming conclusion at the
end of each stanza. At the end of the poem
the non rhyming conclusions must form their
own rhyming couplet stanzas with a non rhyming
conclusion that refers to the title. Note: The Couplets
in the first part of the poem must be even
numbered as to form a perfect couplet in
the second half.
