Focus of a Madwoman

focus of a madwo/man just how many psychotics have we had to endure passing through our lives since the lies began being told? how many madwo/men quoting “scripture” as if it validated their acts, as if their lives had been determined, as if “fate” had driven them in the direction of something total, something that would eventually ring true, in light of all that had been “in the way of ‘the lord’?” rather be with the “adulterers” than in the focus of a madwo/man, rather be dead set in a murderer’s sights, than to be “saved” by s/he who assures that “they walk without sin” (whatever the **** “sin” is), rather be in the darkest pit below amidst those condemned by all the self-righteous, than to be forced against one’s will to succumb to the hypnosis, rather be in doubt for the rest of these days, than to be certain, with a megalomaniac holding all their reasons to live in a book which they feel gives them permission to.
