Madness is the mind bends up and down the road, from east to west, north to south.
Simply meaning that the world’s gone mad, ain’t nothing no one can do, but they say everything happens for a reason. Grinding beauty and piercing bluntness are on the feathers of the spirit in the swamp. Chronicles of rubber revolvers and plastic Christs and decaffeinated verses in a plutonium street car pencil are what defines things like letters and lead, and carbon fiber. Quiet people must die, passive people must die. Why aren’t there any aid to Darfur, erasers don’t prohibit it, the skeleton keys don’t deny it. Rwanda was aided and so were the Jews, but the Native Americans weren’t. Man gave names to all the things he created like lies and truth; but when the lies shine brighter than the truths do, tensions run high in the seas of oriental milk. Fireworks of the memory of minstrels in blackface and the cask of Amontillado; Grey skies, streaked with red and purple, blotched with blue and green seem to fall down with the rain, when the stars call to us from the sky. Saxophones play Mozart in the bayou, but in the French pyramid, pretty vegan girls eat fresh veggies. Jazzamatazz is good for moral, God is damning for Mankind, naïve atheism is what’s best for the people. Leather wallets and faux coats of cotton are such a waste of trees. There’s a rookie in the White House, he’s half white, but they say he’s the first black guy there. That wise guy ain’t no better than the druggie other side of town. There ain’t no thing real about money or worth. The only things that got that are living things. That war vet ain’t no more respectful than the insane idiot in the asylum. Humans ain’t special, we don’t deserve luxuries any more than the AIDS virus. Staplers and coasters float from town to town, drinking Irish crème but they can’t stay off each other’s sisters. Paper rolls and goes, flows and throws, knows what it shows through the holes in the pockets of my whole wardrobe of clothes. Listen to your nose, it can tell you stuff your mouth don’t know. Blood is salty but salt is bad in large amounts, what do you think about King Kong? Right and wrong are illusions, like the idea that America is better than Nazi Germany. Society is screwed up, and the main reason in censorship. Disagree? Minorities back in the day fight for desegregation in white schools, but keep all black schools black. Oh! The hypocrisy! Bass guitars and water bottles all have one thing in common, God didn’t create them. Obama and Hitler got two things in common: they were created by God and are equal. Right? All men are created equal. That’s what all-knowing and infinitely wise Thomas Jefferson says. Whatever president believed in manifest destiny first should be degraded, whoever passed the Indian Removal Act should be hated with Hitler and especially Stalin.
