Weedsociety

A Poem by Michael G. Smith
"

What is insanity

"

Insanity the unbalanced portrait hangs, on...

To the outer walls of society

Frailties framed forefront halos

Surrounding the likes of you and me

Falling cross long night shadows 

Naked passive eyes of others

Pieces of a larger puzzle still ...

Smoke and mirrors each

 

Where lines to horizons thin and...

Abstract greys fit neatly in, between

Magic and miracles as dust

Underneath a rug all but go unseen

Witnessed solely by those souls'

That have some need to believe

Humanity daunting in our face suspends

The self we cannot reach

 

Still ,there are more and more

Who learn if not stumble upon the secret art

Overcoming conscience and emotion 

Venture from the bubble into mastery

Our unveiling...

Is to the greatest human strengths

Hidden brass rings amidst the fluctuation

Even unto weeds of sanity

 

But, madness seems to be

The saddened forever crying clown

Continues on…

Foolishly fooling itself

Into believing in its own
Quixotic illusions

Accepting at its core

To be a common wealth

 

And so I say “tell me why?”

Shouldn’t futility… try

Author constitution

Writing a whole new reality

Because in the end isn’t norm

Just another twisted form

Of crap! Which spews forth..

Out of mouths, those whom try and take our lead

This provokes thought, observation. I like it very much. Your structure is beautiful, with an ole time feel to your writing style.

Strange how counterproductive labels are, yet they are given, oddly by humans, and doing so seems sadly inhumane.

No problem, glad it was welcomed.
Michael, this is beautiful, powerful, and incredibly imaginary...It begs us to look into the mind of the insane and see what they see...Very insightful, great word usage. It was captivating.
Thank you.
