have you seen my sanity, i seemed to have lost it all
it's gone missing, trapped somewhere behind these four walls
in my mind a cinema, playing scenes that remind me of the mad hatter
i try to quiet the imps, but in my head all i hear is the monkey's chatter
the answers to the big questions in life we will never find
having the answers to the little things just isn't enough to soothe my mind
these thoughts bypass my heart, i have mutated and grown a shunt
i scratch and claw at this world, but we all have our demons to confront
an animal backed into a corner, like a fire, defense mechanisms will flare
the truth is, misery loves company and we all have a burden we would like to share
infantile by nature, this is a habit from which we can can't be weaned
with our hearts on our sleeves, the true nature of a creature can be seen
i learned along time ago, there's a big difference between respect and fear
we've built a lot to fall apart, it's inevitable that this system will disappear
if i have 50 years of my life left, in that time what will happen i will see
we're all playing the waiting game, until then i invite you to come and suffer with me
we can't tell the difference between our veil and the dark, we can't tell the glitter from the black
if you think we're confused now, just you wait until mother nature starts fighting back
if it makes you feel better, kneel, pray, and waste your time giving thanks
it serves no purpose, your dollar bills are laughing their way to the bank
why build each other up, when tearing each other down is how we've been taught to behave
our God can return whenever he wants, but he'll find that there's not a lot to save
Please tell me what you think

Hey - Well put togethor, and thought out piece here. I really enjoyed reading it. Each line flowed onto the next without a stutter or stammer. I share a lot of the same views, so this write was nice. = ) It is hard to find anything to relate to these days, lol...How fitting your opening line is.
Keep writing, thanks for the comment.

Oh God!
I have mutated and grown a shunt. I love you. That was awesome.
I don't know how I feel about the piece in its entirety but I absolutely love some of the things you had to say and the way you said them!
God isn't coming, and its up to us ridiculous mammals to figure it out. But you seem to be on your way!

In many many ways this has the same message as the one you kindly took the time to comment on..
fate...it's an awful thing...
but it is not fate that will bring us down...
if it makes you feel better, kneel, pray, and waste your time giving thanks
it serves no purpose, your dollar bills are laughing their way to the bank
greed and hate.....
your sanity has not left you,
it was sold along with all the souls
that wait for decency.
this has invoked great emotion,
so it is art to me.
Your are a thinking poet and philosopher
Peace,
Liam
