Demented pieces of organic matter Tranquil peace in incredulous shatter - Ones seemingly holding a form of life But the ones that don't live that life! Madmen picked from Everywhere else but here Lunatics from subterranean Natural human parks Loners and land sharks Wearing caps marked MAD. Each night They dream the same nightmare They sleep the same dead way. Each day They dream the same empty dream They awaken the same lifeless way. Welcome to a world, where madmen reside A prison blocked with No doors, No windows, Unlocked, Unshackled! Yet you'll find locked within this world inside Imbecile captives held In various states Of mental shock! Yes you'll view victims of your human pride Hallucinating creatures Crazed into wild eccentricity Witlessly submissive to rave! Welcome to this world and take a free ride Welcome to this place A grand association Of human vegetables! Welcome to this Sanatorium. Welcome... ~ --- all imagination... I hope this is scary... if not keep smiling  ------ This was inspired by Metallica's song "Welcome Home (Sanatarium)" --- |

Sudhir, Exit right, enter night. It's a bit mad but a disturbed urr disturbing piece. Well put together. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Hi Sudhir, this is my favorite part of the poem, but I like it all! Good Job! Madmen picked from Everywhere else but here Lunatics from subterranean Natural human parks Loners and land sharks Wearing caps marked MAD |

Yes Sudhir, this scares me, as it I know it is true, mankind is so very scarey....I like the way you presented this very much...the term "land shark" I havent heard since Frank Zappa did a song of that title... Thanks for your contribution,  Steve B “The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal” |

Sudhir, I remember reading this before, still as frightening as ever. Intense and excellent piece. "Think I'm - I'm lost among the undergrowth So much so I woke up I love you all the same" Manic street preachers You stole the sun from my heart. |
