This insanity of making and manufacturing
and covering the earth with steel
ripped from the planet's bowels
is all we have to show of our
so called progress and
dare I say civilization.
Shame that such mercenary
and cruel means satisfy greedy ends
when a so called 'primitive' dweller
from the Amazon or the Kalahari
or New-Guinea has mastered the
ultimate survival lifestyle
with total respect for the
earth they were born into.....
and the oldest known peoples,
the Australian Aborigines,
know of supernatural happenings
that are recorded in their
rock art and help them to respect the
ground they walk on.....
tell me where the insanity rests
if you were able to look down
on the beautiful blue planet from on high,
smoke from a nuclear power station
destroyed by nature or the smoke
from a simple campfire in the desert?

They're clipped and I'm falling down
You're acting as if you're the prince of kings

is all

This Insanity
Your dark arrogance invades my dreams.
I know your head's crammed with miserable schemes.
Your smirking glances
Fear of Losing One's Mind
Panic first creeps insidiously
Then gallops recklessly
Through my veins
Leaping brainy synapses
