The Joker – A Tribute
I have a few dollars to burn. Can I buy some time from you?
I have forgotten my name because it became unimportant. When you bid good riddance to your insecurities and instilled beliefs, your name is just a trivial matter that doesn’t define your identity. It’s weird how people confuse identity for a name and a few digits.
I am the epitome of actualized individualism and you think of me as a fucking nightmare. You people are a funny bunch but you call me the joker. At least my ideals do not drift and I do not rationalize my adversaries like a prostitute robbed of freewill.
I believe in a society based on mutual respect and logic. There are many differences between my cape crusader friend and I, but I respect him for being the unorthodox hero and standing up for what he believes in, even if it seems like he’s fighting a lost cause.
It seems that life as an extension of art, with no masters, no slaves, no walls, is just too fucking poetic. So, we must destroy in order to rebuild. I used to be like you, bogged down by chains but I’ve mastered the art of self-destruction. Now, I wear the world on my sleeve. What do you wear on yours?
Stop being so scared shitless all the fucking time. What are you so afraid of? Change? I make and break change.
Come minions. It is time to make superior changes in your minute lives.
