Oval Joker Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Oval Joker



An Oval Joker.
Smearing an image,
Once held to be sacred.
And allowed to be trashed.
As a greatness to be had,
Loses its meaning.
With more laughing,
At the sadness.
Permitted to last.
For as long as it has.
To believe an allegiance to pledge,
Remains a patriotic thing to do.
When someone elected to sit,
In a position of leadership.
Declares amongst those who cheer,
A disregard for all of it as B.S.
Leaving many to no longer doubt,
Perhaps from the inside out...
The Oval Joker,
Delivering comments as if a fool.
May not be as much of one.
As those the Oval Joker represents.
Since decorum has long been gone,
From values once meant to behold them sacred.
