I Am The Fireclown
A Pantoum Inspired By A Song Penned By Michael Moorcock and The Blue Γyster Cult
Introduction
Michael Moorcock's Lyrics from "The Great Sun Jester" by The Blue Γyster Cult:
Now he's dying in his grief
And the hard men dragged him down
They have killed the wild-eyed jester
They have killed the fireclown
He'll never sing his songs again
He'll never dance between the stars again
He'll never laugh again
No, he'll never ever laugh again, oh no
I Am The Fireclown

The Fireclown Is Dying
Every Door To Him Closed
Still Dreaming Of Flying
But Now He Is Deposed
π«π₯π€‘π₯π«
Every Door To Him Closed
His Aura Fast Fading
But Now He Is Deposed
Though Once He Was A King
π«π₯π€‘π₯π«
His Aura Fast Fading
What Was Light Is Now Dark
Though Once He Was A King
They've Now Put Out The Spark
π«π₯π€‘π₯π«
What Was Light Is Now Dark
The Fireclown Is Dying
They've Now Put Out The Spark
Still Dreaming Of Flying

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
