Crazy Man

I am a crazy man
A speedy car, 
A rash driving mind
With brakeless heart
Crushing over the feelings
Of those, close to me.

I am a thirsty man 
In a vast ocean of life
With parched tongue
Drunken thoughts
And barren heart
Loitering in search of love.

I am a happy man
A never smiling face
With tearless eyes
Taking pleasure in 
Suffering of others.

I am an ignorant man
An innocent child
Weeping for toys 
To play for his fun 
But tired and bored 
Throwing them down to pieces.
