I've been to Crazy, lost my mind
Returned from hell, almost blind
The path was winding, never straight
There was no sign upon the gate.
Liars and fools will guide you there
With promises of love and care
How can you tell who speaks the truth
When saints are sinners where's the proof?
With candy coated tongues they speak
They seek the vulnerable and meek
Webs are spun to catch their dinner
Yet every day they still grow thinner.
I've been to Crazy once before
So I've placed a sign upon that door
To help the next unwary soul
From ending in their dinner bowl.
I've been to Crazy

It matters not if I mind,
Object, disagree, refuse, rebel.
If they say it, it is so,
Even when I don`t want to
The sheer futility of trying to please
All the other people
And do what others want
Ultimately led to my madness...........
Object, disagree, refuse, rebel.

Koan, you can't hold people back
If they're intent to walk that track
Crazy's there, you can't deny it
Who are you to say don't try it?
Sure, there's those who'll call you honey,
tell you anything for money,
they get fat while you grow thin,
that's a blessing, not a sin.
Post your signpost, plant your beacon,
you might help the ones who weaken.
Others need the chance to grow,
Playing safe is just too slow.
If you swim you might be eaten
Go to town, you'll end up beaten
Hiding out at home is lazy.
Risking life instead, that's Crazy.

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

That is so great! Two poetic responses.
john, your response was stunning, like you read my mind.
spot. not quite what I was getting at but a very good point nonetheless.
I forgot how much I love to write poetry.
