Clown of Greed

Your words, hollow echoes in the wind,
Tall tales spun without the thread of truth,
Falsehoods woven into your every line,
But never a glimpse of what’s real,
Just empty noise, masking the rot inside.

Life's been easy, your wealth a cushion soft,
Yet in your eyes, I see only the hunger,
A gluttonous gaze, devouring all it sees,
Valuing nothing but the glitter of gold,
Lost in the illusion, you miss what truly matters.

Hard work? To you, it's a foreign land,
Your head held high, as if born to rule,
But to me, you're nothing but a fool,
A jester in a world where sincerity's gone,
Your every boast a laughable lie.

Bullshit flows from your lips like a stream,
Lies upon lies, building a hollow throne,
Do you forget, we all meet the same end?
Death spares none, not even the proud,
In the end, your riches won’t buy you peace.

So dance, clown, in your material court,
But know this truth you cannot escape,
When all is said and done, and the lights go out,
The only thing left will be the emptiness inside,
And the legacy of a life wasted in deceit.
