Ah, Gamzee Makara. The very first Homestuck character I was introduced to and still one of my favourite all-time characters. I always enjoyed his complex, dual nature, and that birthed this little dooby. Enjoy.
Silly Clown, Angry Clown
You shouldn't keep it bottled up
When your lineage took the reins,
"Because you're no sweet buttercup"
Says the purple in your veins.
It's true, the poison molds you,
It blocks out your inner self,
But, dear lord, it helps to
Keep your friends up on your shelf.
For if they saw what boiled
So deep beneath your eyes
They would find themselves recoiled
And fear you'd take their lives.
Of course, this is correct,
The urge to break is mounting,
And soon you'll have to insurrect
And the bodies will need counting.
The time for peace is fading fast,
So say good bye to the clowning age,
And say hello, at long last,
To the one and only Bard of Rage.
I also have a poll set up on my bio where you can decide which troll or character the next poem I upload should be about. I've only got Eridan and Nepeta done, so they're the only available candidates for now. More to come, though!
