ODE TO INSANITY

by 08/17/2022

Crazy, this world is so crazy
Crazy, this world is so crazy

Buffalo and Uvalde got the best of me
Shots fired, blood streaming, death is all I see
Shooting babies, stopping ages, slain indiscriminately
I can’t believe it but it looks like no one cares but me.

When they told me, bodies slaughtered and I turned around
Grandma dead, babies gone, then I hit the ground.
Seems the good guys with the guns were not that good at all,
They took their weapons and they held them safely in the hall.

Legislators, bad debaters sent up thoughts and prayers
They just talking, but not walking, they don’t even care
Their words say life, but seem the epitome of death
Now I see If this gets fixed, I fixed it for myself

Crazy, this world is so crazy
Crazy, this world is so crazy

Babies ten, life upended, right-wing’s choice to be offended.
Not her choice to procreate, But they don’t care, they legislate
Protect heartbeats is what they say, But not when snuffed in school hallways.

Family waits for mom at home, but this beloved just won’t come
She’s bleeding out on the doctor’s table, He’s got the tools, but he’s disabled
See politicians sent thoughts and prayers, they just talking…they don’t care

Crazy, this world is so crazy
Crazy, this world is so crazy
