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 By Marckincia Jean By Marckincia Jean 6/5/15
