Stop the Madness

The world is spinning out of control

Like a pinwheel in a blustery breeze,

Where gravity is just a notion

That can be rebuffed with idle ease.

 

Suffer all the throes of madness

When reality is rejected

Leaving tyrants and buffoons to

Trounce upon the unprotected.

 

Empty fools reflect in folly

Unperturbed, slightly amused.

Happy just to watch the fireworks,

Gratified to light the fuse.

 

When the world is too much with us

And the chains proclaim their weight,

When all common-sense deserts us

And the enemy storms the gate,

 

That is when we stand together

Shouting in a single voice

“This is where the madness ends.

This is where we make our choice.”
