Jokers Paradise

What if -all you ever knew were lies..?

What if, right now, heaven capsize...
Would heaven then be hell -would all good souls reside there dwell?

What if the sun spun out of synch -replaced itself -like a solar eclipse?
Would darkness then be our world...light -a fable we just told?

What if reincarnation were true?
Would death be our regurgitated fool?

What if the jesters in the courts
-actioned out bills to enforce?

What if you were me -and I were you,
Would the malicious lies told stay untrue?

What if one day -the joker was me?
Would its paradise be worthy to thee?
Or would the pranks you solely play just fill me up mercilessly?

Why do stars fall at night. To mock adoring crowds, To make a wrong a right, Or to put silence to the loud. Why do rainbows have no end.
