The Circus of Life

In this circus of Life, we have ring leaders, clowns and acrobats,
Feathered horses, brave lions jumping through fire and dancing cats.
Time is fired out of a canon and disappears in a blur,
While Love is tied to a target and sharp daggers are thrown at her.

A bold magician makes a lady vanish right before your eyes,
But all is well she will soon re-appear holding on to her lies.
A bewildered Elephant will be forced to stand on his back legs,
Teams of trained dogs in ballet dresses are rolling silver beer kegs.

The audience goes home satisfied, having seen a stunning show,
But are left with a question and a doubt hiding in a shadow.
