Marckincia Jean Poet Free verse

The Joker

His golden delicious red lips 
Rosy with a hint of distaste and betrayal
His grassy green hair 
Compromises the diseased brain rotting from within
His tall plush shoulder pads 
Thin waist and frail stature–demasculinizes 
Yet adds weight to his corpse-like, ghostly-pale complexion
His tightly clinched teeth 
With his brutal and merciless laughter  
Entertains sarcasm and mockery
Revenge he seeks 
For his defacement by way of acid
His personal symbol
The two-sided coin
A silly game of life or death 
Mastered by none other than the Joker
Gotham City’s most notorious vigilante 
A corruptive force 
Rooted  in civility
