Freak Show
April 16, 2016
Human is redefined at the freak show.
Morphed bodies and misconfigurations.
If you have a weak stomach, time to go,
Because here, wrong is a celebration.
Open your eyes and watch the beasts come out.
Hairy women, tiny men, are here too.
Two-headed twins will make you want to shout
Don't be surprised when the next act is you
You’ll scream for release from this tortured house.
Your mama can’t save you, there’s no way out.
There’s no one to hold, not even your spouse.
Hush little baby, there’s no need to pout.
Be glad you’re not the one behind the glass.
The freaks will always perform for the mass.
