Your little palace.

The sun burning high above,
a mocking smile slipping from me,
a game momentarily paused,
and a bitter shared sip,
one to remember.

My curiosity got the best of me,
but I didn’t blame myself either.
After all, how could I?
The first stone to fall
didn’t come from my hand,
but from someone even closer.

Like sheep without a shepherd,
the entire flock strayed away.
Only a queen and king remained,
while I, the jester, laughed on the side,
watching the castle burn,
collapsing piece by piece.

I will keep laughing out loud,
at my own jokes turned into reality.
Your castle crumbling,
your reality shattered,
because when you do things wrong,
only bad things follow.

It is what it is.
