Madness/More Madness

Madness

Some brush it under the carpet
or try to lock it away
but it breeds within our human genes
madness is here to stay.

Madness smolders slowly
in packs of  burnt out cigarettes
some drink to drown madness
but then fill up with regrets

Some people will pay out millions
to search for sense inside their heads
I saw madness sleep with sanity
in Tracey’s unmade bed.

You cannot lock it out
when you know it’s waiting there
behind every cracked reflecton
the eyes of madness stare.

More Madness

It’s madness to waste money
but we do it every day
while some fight to survive
some just waste away.

Some think it is pure madness
to buy organic meat
when factory farms are full
of cheaper hen pecked treats.

Wars are fueled on madness
and the lies of politicians.
Madness lurks in factories
fired up with ammunition.

Madness walks in corridors of power
paying lawyers by the hour.
In so many cases the victims pay
madness watched criminals walk away.

It’s hard to stay sane in a world full of insanity
I’m off to scatter seeds of madness for humanity.
