Chariots of fire gathering dieties
Doused in nine-foot oceans
The last hopes of three-inch men
With seven-mile brains
When detour signs crash
At the eight-foot mentalities
Race-car cylinders
Breaking, leaking, reversing
Cause outward scopes
Switched inward
Balanced universes
Off their tilts
All in the brains
Of civilized men
With cave-men clubs
Beating the primal drums

Oh my. A world gone mad, so early in the morning. You captured the idea vividly. Joyce

Hey, this poem makes as much sense as anything else in modern-day Earth; I mean, we park on driveways and drive on parkways, there are anarchic organizations, the most popular music is noise, and computers dominate society.

Great work, symphony!

Thanks for the comments guys. Although I was trying to make it sound crazy I actually meant for it to relate to daily life and how anybody can make irrational decisions, even the smartest or most richest of individuals.
