Clarity Beyond Madness

Madness, like a human's mark,
It claims that everything is fine,
It plays, as for it, God has changed,
Faith is either exalted or diminished.
Signs are everywhere,
It has become the center of the universe,
It has absorbed every book,
This treacherous ailment
Has added uncontrollable power.
It plays with colorful thoughts.

[Twilight]

This made me think of the madness of human nature, being depicted as playing out within our world; as if it's an uncontrollable illness. Indeed, madness can bring about "colourful thoughts"; and added "uncontrollable power" (in a sense). Megalomaniacs certainly have dangerous levels of power, particularly from the perspective of those under their thumb. And yet, where should the line be drawn between obsessive drives of ambition; and the ultimate potential outcome of a megalomaniac.? After all, not every union leader ends up like Jimmy Hoffa.? No matter how obsessed they may happen to be, with acquiring enhanced privileges and influence over their colleagues. But, is that obsessive ambition; tilting a little towards madness? Well, everything is relative; so no wonder that the writer decided to reference the "universe"; perhaps? This is typically brief, but still interesting; and covers a philosophical theme. Furthermore, it seems rather different to the writer's usual themes; which tend to draw almost exclusively from her genuine personal insights and experiences. Thanks for sharing, and keep on writing. After all, writing can be a worthy catharthis; for those like us...

Thank you Twilight!

I really wish this was not the anthem for the world at this time but maybe the world has always been mad?
Good poem that shines the light on something not everybody can see.
