Who's Mad (I'M Not Insane Pt2)

What a bad experience in Guantanamo Bay
Being called Insane
Then guess what friends
It started again

I’m walking passed the bank
Stopped, lit my cigarette with my gun lighter and had a smoke
Decided I’d pop in to check my balance
Bank teller thought I was a gun waving crack on coke

You know the story 
There’s this big police bloke 
Had me face down on the floor
In a neck choke

He said “You must be Mad”
Waving a gun in a bank
Well you know it already
“ My name’s not Mad” I know it’s sad

I remembered the last pain
Been called Insane
So I thought I’d adopt 
The old name again 

Here I am in a first class hotel 
With all padded rooms in a white jacket all snug
With belts on the sleeves 
That teaches you how to hug.

I write to you with the pen between my teeth
I write my plea
Tell them my name’s not Mad
Read my other poems my names there you’ll see
