Bid good morning to crazy...

I bid good morning to crazy every day

     kiss the ground it walks on,

how else does one deal with insane complicity, 

problems we ourselves have created at detestation's toll

     hateful crimes of brother against brother,

      children starving, wars waging in the name of religion

men dying and women crying in fear of invasion

     terrorism, the proliferation of nuclear warheads 

our planet dying, and climate changes 

   homelessness & few graciously extending a hand 

         welfare with little assistance,

               spread of infectious disease

yet, more telling is written in apathy

   the way in which indifference of power yields 

not for the good of the people, 

       but in profit of its own merit's enterprise

we walk a fine line when we venture

   to close our eyes to life's atrocities

      without standing united for mankind's prosperity

let us glean motivation in peaceful aspirations unfurling,

    in those moments,  hope still flutters

           in perpetual benediction's grace

Am I crazy to believe, you bet,

   apparently the world could use

        a bit more insanity as such...

    "and ask, why not?"

Open and embracing yes sir!. Nowadays when you turn on the TV (probably a mistake already) and say to yourself "I'll watch abit of news, I am so disconnected" after 25 secs. You turn it off and say to yourself quickly " And that's why I don't turn it on too often" You don't know if to cry, laugh, throw plates like the Greeks do. At that point you feel like saying something. In come Fried'a writing. She is actually voicing all my opinions. The bit about being so numb you can't care for one another any longer is actually so true it's pathetic. If crazyness is the way forward - I'll go there (or maybe I am already there a little bit) .

Thankyou

Geez, exactly, I was watching the news and it just proved to make my blood boil, and the muse got furious....sometimes crazy and comfortably numb seem sane...thanks Rene.
