In the square a Harlequin
made up gaudily
dancing for the public
moving easily
telling jokes and silly rhyme
singing silly songs
about bad politicians
and dreams that went wrong
he sang of mass corruption
of bankers and their greed
he sang of bulging orphanages
inmates in desperate need
he sang his most heartfelt song
of how life could be
so they arrested him and tried him
and hung him from a tree
