A Victim of Madness

Do not be a victim be a star....your life is in your hands. When you give another person the power of your destiny....you have signed your life away. Thus being a victim.

 

You are a victim of madness

That creates the sadness

The world over

Like a disease with no meds

 

You stand high and tall

And kick the ball

That rolls in high momentum

In an infinite dictum

 

You are the cause of poverty

Although you claim sovereignty

Deny my basic rights

And insist I need no lights

 

You are the reason I’m mad

In a way that makes me glad

Through realms of insanity

I have achieved my dignity

 

Insanity and madness the world over

Like the speed you drive your Range Rover

I refuse to continue in this velocity

And enslaved in your atrocity

 

 

 

 

 

 

Madness, gladness, wellness all rolled in one!

Do not be a victim, be a star!
