The Lunatic

Poem I had to write for school. The task was to sit somewhere and observe my surroundings. I had chosen a mall for my place of interest. I had written an original one, which i submitted. This is editd

The lunatic
The Lunatic. We see him everyday.
What's this? You don't, you say?
Why, he's in our schools, in our homes.
When we pay our taxes, pay our loans.
The Lunatic is the people you see in the street.
The beggars, middle class, the rich,
The mailman, the bank teller, the news anchor,
The quarterback, the actress, even the president!!!
....the Lunatic is me, but
Is also in the mirror... You see?
Ah, you know the universal truth now?
The Lunatic in me, is also in you. 

Author's Note

I know its short, but please bear with me.

It is true that we are all crazy in our own way which you have clearly justified. However, it takes honesty to admit you yourself are also a lunatic, which is why I love this piece, well done :)
