I Am The Joker

Here we are at the table,
Stakes are piled,
Aces high,
Joker's wild.
Straight out famous,
Locked and Dangerous
Looks set to stun
Double fire power in these guns.

You look in fiction,
And what to you see?
You see me,
Straight out a comic book,
More live than electricity.
The Archtype is plain,
And there to see,
But it's clear you never met me.

Some see the fool,
I see the power, 
Give me the time,
And I turn it to hours.
The jester in the court
The clown high on life.
The kind of guy,
You'd never at look twice.

But there I am,
The Cheshire cat,
The fox getting hounded
By the Raven quothing "nevermore"
Rat-a-tat-tat
Is the sound of my gat.
As the joke character 
Gets lethal.

So you see the smiles
I see your denial
That I'm just a dream.
But I assure you I'm there.
More real than you've ever seen.

Because I am the smoker,
I am the choker,
I'm the broker,
The stoker.
More over,
I'm the goddamn Joker.

All bets are off.
