You Look Mad When You Tell of the Mad

Trying to express horrifically unsavoury and odious acts of heinousness, 
such unspeakable repugnant opprobrium packed with horrendousness 
is a test stacked with specific unfavourable hopeless stress, 
seen a crying fuzz of the weakened redundant mental mess.

You will find, 
when telling of the mad, 
you're unkind, 
and seemingly bad. 

People will treat you insanely s*it,
but insanity is you when you tell of it, 

in short: if the stories are mad
and the people in them are mad
but nobody knows they are mad
when telling others you look mad




*because sometimes the simple words 
better the poetry 
with regards to simple minded herds, 
that's what life is showing me
