Analysis of Clown World



Quite the circus we have now,
Beware, beware, the fart of cow.
The televised mind believes what it is told,
To question authority is very bold.

The ringmaster introduces the next act,
Gender ideology replacing biological fact,
The televised mind lacks intuition,
Tic Toc dances in the kitchen.

Bring in the clowns, to close the show
A war in Russia, don’t you know?
The televised mind is quite offended,
Logic and reasoning have been suspended.
