how
do you know you’re not crazy
how
do you know you’re not losing your mind…
how do you know you’re not crazy
how do you know you’re not losing your mind
when all you do is cry so much of the time
don’t you think that sometimes maybe
you could snap and never be heard from again
they’ll look at you with pity and say he’s not the same
your body and mind no longer occupy the same space
life is so fragile in the blink of an eye someone could die
in the same breath someone else is giving life
it’s all really strange if you have the time to think
you never know who’s on the brink
they seem to have it all in control
but no one knows the demons that haunt the soul
look at the human sitting to your right
look at the human sitting to your left
if you knew what I know about them
the unspeakable horrors they commit
and so proudly they sit
they’ve pulled the wool over our eyes
their aura is pulsating from lies
how do you you’re not crazy
how do you know you’re not losing your mind
everyday something happens it just boggles the imagination
the inhumanities we’re capable of perpetrating
a two year old child is brutalized to death
by the human who’s her father
he’s supposed to be her protector
how could this human kill his own daughter
how did this human child become such a monster
there aren’t any answers anymore, just problems
and no means to solve them
when is the inevitable end?
Enough of this suspense.
(9-24-96 once upon a
time, the state of the world used to consume me and I would worry about
everything. Now, I don’t write these sort of pieces anymore. I guess I
concentrate on more of what I can actually make an impact on.)
