Burn the Big Top Dpwn
center ring excitation for flame-painted ladies handsy geriatric clowns has dampened
a dry wit is wasted
on this rowdy crowd
but they do get aroused
by a hot fire cracker
burn the big top down
roast the barkers char the lion tamers
let loose the big cats liberate wizened pachyderms set free beast of burdens
replume clipped birds with quill and tephra so they may elevate charter, scroll, and script beyond the gritty clutches of old hackneyed carnies
strike and flint torch the marquee
incineration will obliterate
any lingering reek and refuse
burn this circus down

>You'd think with space at least they could allow authenticity some air. People love space and space exploration and despite it being a burgeoning industry, the majority of people involved are in it for the wonder of exploration. But then the space race has been used before to build up heightened patriotism whilst politicians got on with dividing up the world.
>They overshot with the whole alien thing ... few bought it . I am thankful for how savvy people are becoming, including our children. Nice work, humanity, seeing through the propaganda and facade.
