insane, or acting?

Maher senses a human being

dressed as Bluffo the Clown

but if the man he sees is acting

the role that encourages hatred

and bedlam, isn’t that man

even more to be feared

as someone who knows

what he is doing and yet wills

the tearing apart fellow humans

for whatever profit he sees

as gain for himself?
