I Pass It To You
By Stephen Martin

The tomorrow of Fools often faces a Brick,
When the Merriment stops in the midst of a Quick,
And the Gallivant plays by the chop of his Fist,
While the Corporal reigns in the thick of a Mist.

For us–the Blind Fools–we must sound for the glee,
That comes out of the mouths of the Dogs as they flee,
And the Whispers of Troops is enough to ignore,
As we round ‘bout a Face and walk back through The Door.

The King's are all fallen to Merchants of Camps,
The People are riddled with nipular clamps–
They tattoo maps of Commerce upon their Bright Skin,
And avoid all Mosquitoes as if they were Sin.

So, of you I come calling, O the Fool's who have Naught,
Start laughing and bawling and stirring the pot;
For the Crazies are trying to join in our ranks,
They’ve Missiles for Mercies and Brothels for Tanks.

They’ve taken our Pencils and sharpened them Down,
They’ve dulled our Perceptions with Lies of a Crown,
We’ve known this and told them all of Our Days,
We’ve weaved them and Freed them while writing Our Plays,

And now the Strong Gangsters have nowhere to Hide,
Their Weapon is ours now, their Statues have died,
We must not stop Laughing and give up our Ground,
We must send them Packing, these men of Renown.

They may have held Power through an Aeon or two,
But now is our Hour to do what we do,
So Laugh to the Bank–Friends–as we watch it cave in,
Pat the Fool to the Side on the Bum and Begin.

For now is our Hour to do what we do,
Now we have Power and I pass it to you,
Yes, now is our Hour to do what we do,
Now we have Power and I pass it to You.
