This Madness Had
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
This madness had has long trespassed,
Warnings.
Not to go any further.
As ignored neon lights flash,
'YOU! ABANDON YOUR ASPIRATIONS.
YOUR FUTURE TO HAVE,
IS NOT IN YOUR PAST.
TURN AROUND QUICK OR YOU'LL BE...
WELL,
NOT SO HAPPY!'
Today?
What more can be shown,
To observe and it to see.
When people are fed to feed on meds,
Religiously.
And time released conveniently needed!
This madness to have it has been craved.
Homemade craze to addict without limits.
Stupored and duped popping pills instead.
And easy to maneuver deluded heads.
Fed to feed more heads.
This madness craving homemade craze!
And...
Time released when conveniently needed.
This madness!
Fed to feed with this to leave,
Madness!
Time released when conveniently needed.
This madness!
Fed to feed with this to leave,
More of this madness to have it!
More of this madness!
More of this madness!
And time released when in need!
Making everybody wanting that madness!
And gotta grab it to be left crazed.
Making everybody wanting that madness!
And gotta grab it to be left crazed.
Making everybody addicted to madness!
With it time released whenever in need.
