Good Intentions

In the realm of a madman's verse Where thoughts emerge, a universe A delicate dance of sanity's thread And the balance of mind where we're led Amidst the chaos, truth's disguise Is it madness that blinds our eyes? Or just a different lens, a skewed view Where reality shimmers, a distorted hue? Casting shadows, ideologies entwined Emotions as facts, in a world unaligned The masses sipping sweet deceit Blindly embracing their own defeat Human destiny, self-wrought decay Flaws in the mind, lead us astray Yet we claim divinity, wear it as a crown While deep-seated sin leaves us to drown Weakness and corruption, a haunting pair Consequences avoided with little care A cup of complacency, sipped with delight Till the waters boil, and reveal the light The frog in the pot, wisdom found late Adaptation denied by a passive state Fragile psyches shattered by fear's embrace Good intentions lost in this chaotic space Our existence squandered, condemned by desire Trivial pursuits stoking a wasteful fire Complexities woven into life's fragile art Obscuring the beauty, clouding every part Back to the cave, we retreat once more Rationalizing the shadows that pour Apathy's grip evident in our gaze Hopelessness echoing in life's maze Discomfort blooms in thoughts that persist Seeking to fathom what we've dismissed The truest issues, we often evade Lost in trivialities, a modern charade In the poetry of madness, stories are spun A journey through chaos, battles hard-won Between fractured minds and realities untold Lies the spectrum of being, where we unfold
