That Carnival

By Michelle Fetalvero

Thanks, Ferris!

i decided to risk 

a 45-pound of flesh and fat

to taste

The heavenly flight

to face

The fear to fall

O Fog, i feel your coldness 

Kissing my pinkish Cheeks

Oh, ecstatic joy

then we slowly descend

The only time we feel

The momentum is over

that we will only appreciate the ride

wishin' to ascend again 

to taste

The summit

so I rode the kite

at that height

I was saddened by the plight

The oppressed 

Overwhelmed by the lights

Slowly Fading

I was faced with the truth

Behind the dancing lights

Are faces of struggling wanderers

I decided to get off

and On the same ground

Oh, i met Truth

Up there are masked faces and delusions,

Tinged with pseudo-beauty.

Down here are the bold faces of reality

Abused filled with Wrath.

Our tickets no more

Thanks, Ferris!

For the ride, i enjoy

Spending a penny

I see the two faces of the coin.

Till the next round

On another ground

Where Ferris is mounted

i shall come

If this worth

My final penny

I shall still spend

And that color game awaits.
