Clown Lives Matter

Clown Lives Matter

A Poem by C.s. Ambrose Lobaito
"

Believe in equality

"

“If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.”

This kind of hate speech should be stopped!

One shouldn’t be afraid of the neighborhood clown

With a cocaine powered face, orange caked cheeks

& red wig- wielding a chainsaw.  Maybe the chainsaw

Is a gift for his mom, he bought at The Home Depot.         

He’s not a bad dude-  just needs a little attention.   

Besides, what else is there to do in Redmond, Washington?                               

It’s a harmless fad.  Lately, clown hunters have been assaulting

Clowns & mowing them over with cars.  Look it up on YouTube. 

We need to stop the violence of attacking clowns. 

Maybe these clowns are just looking for a kid’s party to attend to. 

Maybe they are lonely & are looking for friends to play with.

On the news, they are calling it, “an evil clown epidemic!”

Hey, clowns have feelings too!  Just because they look evil

Doesn’t mean they are.  So what, if one of them is carrying

A dull machete & balloons outside the Jersey Gardens Mall.

Who cares if Pedro, the green-faced clown, smashed pumpkins

On some resident’s porch in Piedmont, Arizona 3 days

After Halloween.  Stupid?  Yes.  Psycho killer?  No. 

We must stop the stereotyping.  Are you cool with that?

Next time you spot a clown wandering in the park

At 2 am, don’t be shy.  Give him a hug.  Maybe he’ll

Squirt you with his water gun flower & treat you

To breakfast at Denny’s.  If so, order the Grand Slam.
