I see manifestations of lunacy,

the absurd mixing with the logical

and madmen pointing their fingers

to the pure and the innocent

raising their hand to strike

the rational and the serene.

 

I see the axis of evil

perpetually defining its direction

and rivers of madness,

crashing mightily upon and

etching away

the walls of reason and sanity.

 

I see Archangels leading the armies

of the slow-witted,

demagogues cheering the madmen,

and abandoned battlefields,

illusions of a macabre yellow

that sticks on metal.

 

I see life on a scale balanced by

a few gold coins,

and mothers crying over pieces of flesh

that once were a child.

 

I see the indifference of man,

flipping through TV channels looking for

more entertaining deaths.

 

I see us.
