Filthy sanity

by Lenny   Oct 27, 2007


Filthy sanity
Inhabits this earth
Cacophony to phones
And phony people
Hermits on the street
Love more than you ever can
Let the insane in!

Your society of leashes
Leeches off our madness
Get those filthy hands away
Just because mine are clean

I dont want your pity
Ill take the dogs before
The spit of pity you cry
In those illusion tears

Because my chains are prettier
Than your suit and tie
You think it right to not smile
As you pass by
You are jealous

Because Im insane
And you wish you had chains.

    I do wish I had chains!
    Just so I could chain you up to something and tame you...make you a little bit more sane..
    But someone like you cannot be tamed or made less insane, and that is fine...but one thing you need to know -- I, myself, am not sane -- This you should have already known..

    Anyway, about the poem... The ending didn't seem quite right to me, felt a bit cut-off and unfinished. Other than that, it was fine.

    I liked this, but it wasnt as clear to me (because of my own private fears) as the other poems that just seemed to beat the life of poetry into every word. drunk on madness, not power!
