Madness and Revelations

Madness and Revelations 
had to tell them apart 
shunned for exercising both 
rejected by those nearest to you 
Judas and Brutus has it right 
throw in Cassius and you have party night 
the Prophetic and the Insane 
are simply viewing the world,
humanity, the Heavens on a 
different frequency. It's all 
air waves, simply a different 
channel. We fear the unknown 
and the Mind, our own, produces 
fear-mongering, so that we 
cannot, will not, understand 
the babbling of the mad 
the insight of the greats 
the hindsight, the burden 
they produce, fear due to 
having no shame in their honesty 
that is why we, the lesser 
fear and hate them.
