“If you’re going to be crazy, you have to be paid for it, or else you’re going to be locked up.” – Hunter S. Thompson
“‘Why not remove yourself from your debt of realism
Which birthed your enslaved mind and your free souls schism
It’s bound to be worth while
Paying yourself with a smile…”
Life is all laughs when you remove the haze of reality
Unclad souls worry not of shame or normalcy
Bypass the unrelenting omni-present fallacies
…That establishment marks as thinking straight
Why cower from the dark & the demons which lie in wait?
Pretending you’re more than rabid
Transcend sanity – an idea impure and rancid
My manner of thought is a paradox and parallel
To the unrighteous-paragon, that renders reality jailed
…by chains of freedom; pure and undiluted
The vision of liberation I see is far from that reputed
….by lawman and vigilante alike
Madness is joy and the Will to reason is plight
Akin to all incongruities
I was birthed by an idea and it’s duality
It is not rage which flows through me
Just an ache to see the ties that bind Undone
The fabric of society – comes off as a bad pun
I have a joke for you
A bit of slapstick humor; catch my shtick
The humor of your daily routine won’t relent
You say your prayers and then repent
Cast out your abnormalities – stigmatize and resent
I find it funny, it’s quite a laugh
To watch you all take the beaten path
Walking in single-file; each soul afraid to ask
Is our idea of right, RIGHT?
I’ve a new way to live your day-day
Let the sentiments of normalcy fade away
‘Weird’ is a striking sensation which won’t decay
My whole life long I’ve battled solemn tendencies
Fighting against a series of unsmiling enemies
Souls a-plenty find no calm center in the storm of wrath
Discontentment’s winter and it’s constant splinter will pass
When corruption enters – ignorance amassed by falsehood's mask
I could save you but it’s too damn bad
You won’t listen to a man gone mad...
