focus of a madwo/man

just how many psychotics

have we had to endure

passing through our lives

since the lies began being

told?  how many madwo/men

quoting “scripture” as if it

validated their acts, as if their

lives had been determined, as

if “fate” had driven them

in the direction of something

total, something that would

eventually ring true, in light

of all that had been

“in the way of ‘the lord’?”

 

rather be with the “adulterers”

than in the focus of a madwo/man,

rather be dead set in a

murderer’s sights, than to be

“saved” by s/he who assures that

“they walk without sin”

(whatever the f**k “sin” is),

rather be in the darkest pit below

amidst those condemned by all

the self-righteous, than to be

forced against one’s will to

succumb to the hypnosis,

rather be in doubt for the rest of

these days, than to be

certain, with a megalomaniac

holding all their reasons to live

in a book which they feel gives

them permission to.
