Eyes of Madness

Have you ever looked into the eyes of madness
Someone who brings only sadness
Seen into the eyes of someone with no conscience
They are usually obnoxious

A person with madness in their eyes
Live their lives in disguise
In their own reality
Justifying actions of insanity

Rape, murder, extortion, reality is distortion
Arson, kidnapping, theft, till there is nothing left
Never test the anger
As they can be an enchanter

Psychopaths and Sociopaths
Mental illness is their wrath
They travel through the light
Causing trouble in the night

Some victims are rich, some are poor
Both the young and the old
Jails not the answer, sanitariums don’t mend
For most of them, they will suffer in the end
