Well, the circus has begun. The clown has been installed in the White House. His ringmaster, Musk, is whipping the troops into shape, and we’re guaranteed another four years of absolute mayhem.
Undoubtedly, the clown has already given us lots to keep us on our toes. With executive orders coming fast and thick, he’s testing his muscles to see how much he can get away with. Clowns are not normally restricted to the rules. They frequently paint outside of the lines. Indeed, there are no lines.
Clowns believe in anarchy. The chief objective is to upset the flow of things. Tossing a custard pie or two in the face of democracy is pretty much a bog-standard thing for them to do. After all, they are supposed to make us laugh.
However, some clowns forget that their primary objective is to entertain and not go off-script. It seems that President Bozo is one of those clowns who is not cut out for the job.
No one likes a sour-face clown with a mission to grab attention at whatever cost. His ringmaster is a man of means, and he means to make it his mission to make the clown into a puppet. The poor clown is oblivious to the strings on his body. His every movement is orchestrated by the ringmaster. I suppose the humour lies in the clown’s naivety. Blinded by his own lust for revenge, he’s duped into thinking the ringmaster is subservient to his whims. With each pull, the ringmaster has all the control he needs.
The cirque du vengeance animals are terrified of the ringmaster and his sidekick clown. They’ve seen what can happen to you when you’re suspected of being disloyal or disobedient. There are a lot of rumours flying around about the disappearance of very talented animals.
Fearing disloyalty among the old stalwarts, the dynamic duo (ringmaster and clown) has introduced a new breed of animal. They tend to be quite dimwitted and servile but their eagerness to please is never in question. It’s no surprise that they are so mailable.
Given that their understanding of the world is limited to what they learn from their superiors, their fealty is second nature. I’ve seen them witness the worst actions of the clown, things that would compel the rest of us to revolt, be lauded by his pack of fools.
The animals occupy the house. It’s there they can be of most service to their masters. It doesn’t matter that they foul the place up, there are lots of helpers to muck up after them.
It’s amazing how much waste matter comes out of them, though it shouldn’t surprise us. They’re put on an unhealthy diet of things that you and I would deem inedible, but they seem to enjoy it. The clown himself personally approved of it, pontificating that if it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for them.
Medically speaking, the experts suspect it’s based on a lethal dose of misinformation. Those experts have since been censored by the ringmaster, who has taken it upon himself to disseminate the truth as he sees it.
Among performing artists, some are concerned about how the circus is being run but say nothing. They are afraid of their masters’ disapproval.
Instead, they focus on what they’re good at. Leaping, jumping; flying through the airprovides a good distraction from the real purpose of the circus. The talented man who throws knives at a beautiful lady once proposed using an image of the clown for target practice. His sense of humour wasn’t appreciated by the powers that be, and he was demoted to mucking out the animals.
His punishment quickly reinforced the theme of the circus. This circus would be like no other before it. Under the guidance of clown, and ringmaster, the world stage is ready for the greatest actions of revenge its ever seen.
Knifes will be thrown, hitting targets at a great distance. It’s wildly reported that the new knife man can throw as far as China, though he’s equally skilled at hitting Canada and Mexico.
Who Do Clowns Admire?
He’s just the sort of person the clown admires. He’s ballsy, and testosterone driven. There’s a greater sense of masculinity among the newcomers. Their talent for eradicating the more feminine element is unmatched.
They’ve acquired a nose for smelling out deviants, those who tend to confuse genders or play both sides. Under the new regime, those who don’t fit the new norm will be penalized. They will be forced to comply with new rules, which are still in the making.
Security has been beefed up to capture those who sneak into the circus without paying the proper fee. Most of these people are from poor circumstances.
Escaping their misery, they seek out a little entertainment, and possibly even some menial employment. They’re happy to even clean out the muck.
Among the lesser employees, this enthusiasm to do the dirty work is welcomed, but it’s not so among the higher-ups. The presence of these poor people diminishes the greatness of the circus. They just don’t have the right face for what the circus is to become.
Expelling them and sending them back to their misery is the right thing to do. The clown and the ringmaster are not colour-blind; they know that greatness lies in being whiter than white. Every empire that has been of worth, has had to stem the tide of colour.
In only a few weeks, the cirque du vengeance has made its agenda clear. There are sacrifices to be made if greatness is to be achieved. Prices for services will go up, and there will be hardship, but it will all be worth it in the long run.
This circus will be like no other, except for one in Germany in the 1930s, but that was a failed experiment. The clown has promised that his circus will be remembered as the greatest act of vengeance ever, and I believe him.
