Notes About The Poem

Author's Note: This poem and its particular sad message speaks for itself. I wrote this poem to give the reader something to think about. This poem, from my perspective, speaks to the very humanity (or inhumanity) of the world we all live in. The less fortunate in our human society often bear an unimaginable burden. (Gary Bateman - June 6, 2021) 

Lunatic Lunacy

Lunatic Lunacy
 
Let there be no doubt—the human mind is a curious
and most fragile entity in and of itself in all situations.

The border line between sanity and lunacy speaks to
the fate that some of us in our mortal world must face.

A troubled spirit, by the very hand and intent of God,
speaks to a cruelty that’s not worthy of the Almighty.

A nibbled mind over time may reveal a state of true
insanity that speaks to and reveals a human tragedy.

The state of human lunacy gives our white-coated
doctors something to ponder in this so crazy world.

A lunatic may indeed suffer from a state of incurable
lunacy—yet, no wonder, look at the world we live in.

David Smith October 2, 2021 at 1:51 PM All too true Gary. I have worked as lay person with some who fit this category, yet I have known others who have been treated harshly yet have remained symptom free. That is the conundrum my friend. Strong communities seem to do what all the money in world can not. Also I have read and believe that a lot of issues are ones of good truthful communication or lack of it. This piece is one of your finest efforts to write about a subject that needs to be looked at from all angles. Thanks Gary.
