Only through the eyes of insanity
can one see behind the mind of reality
A painted false face of vanity
covering the mass of humanity
Science another religion
fanatics spitting derision
at anyone with another vision
as open minded as the inquisition
Truth only a lie well disguised
A rotting rag patched, mended and revised
A gag and blindfold for the wise
Drifting smoke dissipates as it flies
What was yesterday is not today
notes must change for the music to play
These disjointed thoughts, how will they stay?
Gathered like falling droplets on a stormy day

First two lines, I woz with you, Soren - I won't be forgetting this idea in a hurry....... I slide quickly over the blast at 'science' and land squarely on 'What was yesterday--- music to play'
You know - the style and rhythm (almost) got me in..... Good stuff....
Thanks Dave I appreciate the read and comments. It is interesting that mad in English has more than one meaning and I guess I often fit both.
Wise words soren.
