The Crooked Eye
The bar that has been set for all of us is the crooked eye. The joker is in the head. The jack is on the outside. The joker only plays a certain number of card games- that is the bar. In the rest of these card games that joker is gotten rid of. The arm has to be twisted for the joker to come out. The man is the jack but is a farce because the joker rules the mind. The jack is a rues. We are ruled by jokers in this society and they set the bar which is only how many card games the joker can play in. For the rest they are disposed of. Who gets to play the rest of these games? The rich? Do they understand how to play? What about the intelligent? Or are they hoodwinked into being stupid jokers to fit into the rest of society? The beautiful? Who decided that anyway? But maybe they are jokers, or jacks with out jokers? Then what are they worth? Who gets to decide worth? Lets say the jokers decides because at least they are playing two games. But are these jokers the jesters of society? Who is in charge then? Is it the jesters? I would like to know because I want to learn how to play the rest of these card games and not be controlled by the crooked eye; decided by the jokers of society. They are the jacks who have to twist the arm on their head for the joker to pop out and have a thought and then they stare into space where they have never gone.
