Marilene Evans Poet Lyric

Tempted To Madness

TEMPTED TO MADNESS

Running away from insanity.
Going crazy with reality.
The Coronavirus staying around,
unmasked people getting out of hand,
ongoing protests all over
police brutality over and over.

I just want to run
to have my freedom.
Freedom to be care free,
not minding anybody.
Even for a brief moment
of peace and contentment.

All I want to do
to make it through
is to run free and wild
for I’m going out of my mind.

Like a wild flower child
making whoopee in the wild
under the sky full of stars
or in the back seat of a car.
In a pick up short/long bed
or on the bushes shades.

Ah… Bless my soul
trying to stay whole.
In this troubled time
trying to stay calm
by imagining I’m running free
and wild to keep my sanity.
 	
All I want to do
to make it through
is to run free and wild
for I’m going out of my mind.

Sigrid Ermine September 25, 2020 at 7:05 AM Hello, Marlene. Yours are uplifting lyrics in our tumultuous times. The wild child theme, whimsical, ties your implore for basic freedom with a desirable daisy chain bow! Congratulations on its Win! Marilene Evans September 25, 2020 at 8:24 AM Thank you, Sigrid. I was a wild child in a subtle way; but I'm still a wild child in my spirit (LOL). Have a great week-end. Your comments are charming.

Rico Leffanta August 28, 2020 at 11:58 AM "Ho'omanawanui" is the Hawaiian word for, "All things will work out in the fullness of time" so enjoy the peace and solitude during quarantine/lockdown. With Trump as President, you are assured your life will become more hectic! Aloha! Rico Marilene Evans August 28, 2020 at 12:12 PM Yes, everything will be all right, when the time is right. I hope its soon. Thank you. Need to go back to Hawaii, have not been there for 7 years. Aloha!!!
