Madness

03 Nov 2017

alisajs
so, if I remain another 10,000 years
would we be any different then?
how much lemonade is there to prepare
when I ran out years ago?

the pleasure of details
falls flat when it's only one hand
lifetime commitment reduces to
delusional chatter
when culprits point fingers and run

at what point does it reduce abuse
when constant anger prevails
you have everything to live for
everything to gain,
nothing to lose
and still you complain

years have passed, a decade now
life goes on
and I'm still here, putting out fires
with nothing more than an empty pail
inside all this endless roar
here in my head
in the still of the night
when all should be quiet

this is sheer madness
time to break free,
before this becomes
tragically,
the end of what was once me...
