Notes About The Poem

Insane

Insane Defiantly I admonish you to just leave me alone, Stop following me incessantly like a rowdy foe. How forcefully must I tell, you've lost your soul, Your sinister ways to love me I do not condone. You shadow my presence everywhere I go Blatantly invading every peaceful place I know. Lurking around my private life in public places, Posting online photos and ugly lewd messages. If you're ever spotted at my kids' school again You can be sure I will file a police complaint, Quite often have I warned you to back away Yet you keep treating me like I'm your prey. One day you called my wife on a falls pretense, Now you treat her like she's your best friend Spreading lies intently to prejudice her mind Encroaching on our daily lives in ways unkind. You joined our church, though you live far away, I hear you'll volunteer at school every Monday. Now I am distressed by your manipulative ways, Prompting me to take action to deter your sway. At the height of insanity you finally lost control, Quite appropriately you must soon pay a toll As you sit in jail awaiting sentence for your crime For you tried to hire a hit-man to kill my wife.

Sometimes, people go insane with 'mad' love... ! It is not love, but sheer selfishness, never caring for the misery it is going to bring on the targeted one and his family. For a family man , such behavior is unbearable. Now she is in jail... Let her suffer the brunt of her action ! A wonderful poem true to life...Vijay!

Very very good stuff Vijay. Were you watching a crime show on tv before you wrote this? Very in depth. I'm just thankful none ever found me that irresistable.

Now that is one insane person! I hope he gets a life sentence in a psychiatric hospital because he must be crazy! I would hate to run up upon a person such as that! Your write sure is frightening, as a stalker is too! I loved reading your illustrious poem this morning, you have impressed me by your skillful nature on this piece, such an awesome job at writing this incredible write Vijay! Great Work!!
