Just some thoughts I've been having lately, about life in general.

Thinking all of this time that I stood next to giants 'til I realized those giants were mad But what brought me here was impulsive stupidity I see now that I have been had Why seek fame and glory when those who would give it are truly a senseless lot? I'll waste no more time nor anymore energy in giving them all that I've got Theirs is no standard to which I aspire I'd sooner bed down with the hogs For there is more honor right there in the mud than among all those rabid dogs The loonies are now in charge of the nuthouse The owner turned over the keys But I will not beg nor will I borrow I'll not even offer a 'please' I no longer need them I'll go my own way Their nakedness has been exposed There's no getting through the madness of giants Their eyes and their minds are all closed
