The madness train.
The madness train
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Time to know what real pleasure is. Before it is too late.”
The Madness train..
I’m twisted up.
Hog-ties to bullshit. I’m strangled with useless things.
I can’t recognize my face in the mirror.Life based on my salary.
Paying bills.
Buying more useless things.
Hog-ties to bullshit. I’m strangled with useless things.
I can’t recognize my face in the mirror.Life based on my salary.
Paying bills.
Buying more useless things.
New generation of children.
Always wanting more.
How many toys do you need?
Today I will go to the River.
Sit and try to find my mind again.
Take my child to the park.
Toss a baseball.
Shoot a few baskets.
Must stop this madness.
Put away the video games.
Turn off the televisions.
Go outside.
Feel the sun on my face.
Get untwisted.
Get un-hog-ties to the B.S.
Get off the madness train.
Live life for the real pleasures.
Friends and family.

Beautifully written. It is sad that children are lost amongst the things that cannot make a person whole. Think today, I too, will turn this square box off and take the kids outside!

My children gave me reason and purpose to live. Many things to make a person whole. I believe we need balance of work and pleasure. Hard to do. Thank you for the comment.

Life if measured against wage, I am sure it will enrage my mind and body at this age..wants are challenging needs lacking, did I remember anyone by face? Too many people got a craze, entertainments are many, just flip the page.
