Mad Society

Mad society has a way
To prize sarcastic replay
Squeeze of indifferent sting says


Mad society in full flight
Can bury day in dark light
Hoisting fear to damning night


Mad society in full bloom
Can drive a stake in sad gloom
Leave bitter gall to flood room


Mad society can now spill
Dirt and trash that ever kills
The fond spark of happy thrill


Mad society ever mints
Dark shades that channel grim hints
Frame a gloomy outward tint


Mad society wears a mask
Anchors weary fate to task
Where desolate feelings bask


Mad society is the tale
Of greedy and lusty sale
Can goodness now prevail?
