Mera Naam Joker

Days drag on for beggar of love
Slapstick humor the money shove
Beneath the mask of spurious smile
Lies an empty pair of sad eyes

Kosher art ready as the curtains rise
Makeup to make the smile wide
Life's earning but spirit callous
Luck so hard on the ingenuous

Deceiving looks phrase personified
The personal misery a comedy defined
People see the layers opaque
Glee so real such a sublime fake

Laughter their one and only end game
Till grave with tombstone as a smiley
Giving your child a lively evening
Life that leads as a happy mourning

Jesters they are in the sea of grims
Pity care love and some respect rare
Because beneath all the whitened pearl
Its the eyes that need the caring
