Poem Artwork


 


Touched by insanity,


In a world of profanity,


Of the self vanity,


The crux therein of humanity…


 


I wish for a piece,


I find no release,


Need I guess to use elbow grease,


Could it be I am too obese…?


 


Too many pills,


I got the chills,


My poetry has few skills,


I find I cannot keep up with all the bills…

We make it better in this world with insanity. Don't every change your ways, dear Ed!

It is the simple things in life as they mount that drive us to the edge at times. But you know Ed, we tend to go crazy at what we imagine rather than what is real. Fear is an example. For a tight Scot like me it is the fear of having to pay a bill, it would drive me to the asylum for sanctuary.
Some pretentious philosophor once said that 'madness is a sign of dandruff' Crap. I just had to put that in, Ed.

beyond sanity is where the poet lives ... everything worth having lies byond sanity faith, truth, hope, love are all insane.

Mutual funds?

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
