Ode To a Sad Clown

Ode to a sad clown
His fado, his logopeia
Life is a blague
Lie is his atarraxy
He doesn’t have!
Anything!
Skeptic epicureans and stoics
Complete absence of disturbances
Or restlessness of the mind
Realizing the ideal so dear to hellenistic philosophy
Of peaceful and serene happiness

This is the circus
My life circus
Where clowns live their profession
Where life turns to a joke
And sadness hides behind a makeup

Circus of horrors
Circus of horrors
Circus of horrors
The happy prison

Why kids are afraid of me?
I just want to be happy like they are (like they are)
What? Are you not happy? (happy)
I thought you was (sad clown, sad clown)
I'm sorry, is this smile, isn't? (yes! It is)
Can’t you see?
I'm your life clown
I'm sorry, but this is mine
