Our Honest Jesters

James J Jackson

Why do we hunt for truth

for those who were once our jesters?

There is more comedy in truth than comedy now

and we are but only in the first throws

of the labels in this century’s era.

Comic overthrough

and a degeneration of a mass produced culture

full of plastic and dead beauty.

Need not sacrifice joy in the revolution

but expand it

and find it one day sustainable.
