Poetry: Insanity

by Asha Oshun'Mali

Created on: September 03, 2009


Insanity


The first time ever you

lose your mind

will be a sublime leap into

darkness so blind

devoid of light/ of reason/

of rhyme.

Watch the shifting

paradigm

inside your mind.

Skip once/ bounce

twice/shout loud/profane

life is lived more soundly-

outside of your brain.

To the left/turn

right/ drive unrestrained

sip champagne at intervals

while laughing at the

sane.

Strange thoughts should

not ever

be tamed.

Leave them to run wild;

unrestrained:

like daring ,dancing

painted,

Dames.

Nothings changed.

You must remain

exempt from the

reality of the

sane.

A common sense refrain,

every day life is such

a drain.

As far as you know

think about/no in fact go

take the short trip-

the alternate plane.

Life's a little calmer

when you go

Insane.
