Wouldn’t I Be Crazy?': A Song

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

Wouldn’t that be … crazy?
Wouldn’t I be … crazy
If I thought that crazy
Was anything but wrong?

(In between sweet lines of verse,
I dare to tell you the worst of worse.
We are crazy, if we get it wrong.)

Why can’t I be … crazy?
Wouldn’t I then be … crazy?
If I thought that maybe
Was everything, but wrong?

(In between gross lines of verse,
I came to tell I mind my works,
And, am I crazy, if nothing is wrong?)

Everyone, to me, seems … crazy.
Are we really real, yet … crazy?
If we thought we were strong,
Would we be wrong?

(In between our thoughts of Now,
We dare to tell all we have seen,
Of no return, and, we become nothing.)

Can’t you see I'm … crazy?
Wouldn’t you want to be … crazy?
If you thought, that one day,
We would all get along?

(In between sweet lines and gross,
Tolls the anniversary of words.
Am I crazy, to sing so … crazily?)

Certainly Lewis Carroll and Dr. Seuss would love singing along to this poetic ditty:-) The mirror of consciousness allows for many perspectives, each with its own claim to logic and rationality. There is no question that what might appear as "sane" to one appears as "crazy" to another, and vice versa. Perhaps the important thing is for the individual to figure out what works best for her or him and then, accordingly, live as joyfully as possible. Thank you for always making me smile and think:-)

Good poem. All I ever came up with with regards to the topic of eityher myself or everyone else is right or wrong crazy or not, was a difference between my self and everyone else reflected, in natural mental defense differences(weaker delineation/divide) capabilities between myself and environment makes me tick entirely differently like a switch near the begining of a thought circuit activated/affected at a particular time changes my whole personal history. Worst adverse effects are caused by dwelling on things and not taking things as they come to make my brain clocks start working-sort out best beneficial inputs and to demand privacy to be alonew when you want to be alone-those times are particularly important-an interfereing person short changes himself. Lines of crazyness can turn into the passing of time and new influxes and changwes to your senses. If you weaken(other problems get a hand) catch your breath and begin again. Everyone is wrong and crazy as much as a river flowing on the wrong bed-is still only a world of rivers with different perceptions/ priorities importances(to even let the assements and definitions of others become both common incorrect and not of high priority with respect to most people).Regardless of what is crazy. I am 56 years old and I still cannot make much sense of others what so ever-are just more libidenous than myself and their mental switches see the world very differently.
I think we can all get along also when the energies of others start to see (even the existence of your exact differences, or notice some different importance to the existence of your differences, which are most likely already observed in some light or other and i dont think very complicated in the observation) and their clumsby mental switches re-adjust to include another notion.

This I believe only happens on its own, from need , as all real awakenings occur only in an undisturbed, unperterbated, quiet setting in/from our sleep. If something is shaken to cause change, its means is perterbation and its product is perterbation-disturbance-not revelation. The exact paths and divergences of tomorrow are not(as intentional shakening, is) where anyone can see or notice.
