COURT FOOL, n. The plaintiff.
~ Ambrose Bierce
Comedy, Divine ?
Laugh as if your lives depended on it
The wisdom of humor often falls on deaf ears
Just because something's funny doesn't mean that it's trivial
Comedians are often overlooked for pointing out what's obvious
But few others can put matters so succinctly or pointedly
Recall; Attic theater is represented by both tragic and comic masks
Spreading mirth might be the least appreciated of all art forms
Most people are either unable or refuse to look past any crudity
They miss coded messages mischievously packaged within jokes
Which is why the fool wields such secret power
Play's that thing wherein lies ensnared mind of a king —
Seriously now folks, laugh like your very lives depend on it!

I challenge you to a multi-movement poem. I like this tone, but you could do more w/ a juxtaposition of character/plot. I could see you writing allegorical farce or something like that, to accompany this. Do you know what I mean? I think you've been taking the voice of the Chorus too frequently lately. You're good at it, but that's all the more reason to stretch my friend.
