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?
