Instead Of Madness

An answer to defeat.

                                   

                                   Instead Of Madness

              Don’t dare me

              to scorn the

              world and curse

              its hopes or scoff

              at its loss of

              comforts and honor.

 

              No, my pride’s

              too great to

              accept these worldly

              terms of victory

              and defeat.  And

              instead of madness,

              I choose poetry.

              .................................

I sincerely agree Bennett! Well said my friend. Poetry is a safe release of deep dark demons for me......A soapbox for all heartfelt emotions......It beats the heck out of mortal alternatives.....

Peace,

Bill
