crazy

Post by saw » July 3rd, 2011, 5:43 pm

stigma was invented
to cast out the eccentric,
the psychotic, the sick
a clever way to remove the stained
impediments, the non-conformists
from social order
managed by the Real nuts

hmmm, what if madness
wasn't really a breakdown
but a breakthrough
through the razor wired fences
that make prisoners
of imagination,
is it sane to kill yourself

a little each and every evening
sitting hour after hour in front
of the television set, restricting
thought twiddling your opposable thumbs
the one thing that sets you apart
from the feckless beast

well then, why are you doing it
just like your lethargic neighbors
is the lockstep helping you
hit your stride, is it enriching you
making you feel better, are you afraid
to be in the minority, because
I'm thinking YOU are the crazy one

so now that we have established
your insanity will you graciously
accept that you have never been qualified
to judge heresy, great scott
the witch is you !
so please amoeba man, howz about
we just zip it up, isn't it time for wheel of fortune ?
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

vanna white is a goddess - this much is true. those eight-cornered square heads can sink their normalcy into one of those retirement funds.

I love your angry voice, Steve. Makes me want to piss you off just so I can hear it.
