Insanity

There are so many people in the world
Who have missing marbles
Many go undiagnosed
But they really don't possess full sanity


There are so many people who commit violent acts
So many people who take lives
So many people who rob people instead of working and buying their own things and praying
So many people trying shut down the faith

What is insanity?
To me, it's doing something out of the ordinary
Something that has a negative impact on others
And refusing to get help from God and others when needed

So many people out there want to rush to get engaged
Rush to get married to people they don't know well
People they may not have had the pleasure of meeting in person
Some people want instant relationships
That is so not normal

Why are so many people insane? 
Because Satan is on the loose attacking people 
And blinding the minds of the general public
Why do I seem to attract the nuts?
Hell if I know

I know that no matter doctors have said about me
No matter what I have been for 
No matter whose medical care I'm under
I am normal because the Lord gave me a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind

I just know this
Anyone is prone to be driven to insanity 
If we invite the devil in and let him wreak havoc
We gotta keep our eyes on God at all times
In order to stay intact
