Madness

Driving home in the dark through blinding rain Hassles at the office plaguing my brain Longing to escape life in the fast lane Motorists are cussing with words profane From shouting back, I struggle to refrain Car mirror shows my forehead’s bulging vein Sense of sanity I try to maintain My heart races and I’m feeling chest pain What is the point I try to ascertain Thoughts of ending it I now entertain To repel these notions I have to strain Remembering Jesus never complained Entry for the March Madness Contest

How beautifully you have exposed the curses of modern living. I was worried about the mad way of driving their motorcycles here in India, but this appears to be a global problem and highlighting in such a thrilling way is wonderful. Congrats, for your wonderful win in Carolyn's March Madness. A well deserving wins my friend. Love and best wishes...Ravindra...Diane Locksley
