Best Lunatics Poems
Madness stirs their passions...
Such dregs have stacked the deck.
Ideas resurrected from the dustbin
Of History... make bold their disrespect.
Ideologies of egotists and lunatics
Prey now upon the weak.
They salivate their malcontent...
It is wry carnage that they seek.
Devoid of humility and prudence...
Learning nothing of the past.
If we fail to confront these miscreants...
Society will not last.
It's been thought for many years...
Wisdom comes with age.
But my friend... the ship has sailed...
The dregs will have their day.
Don't be fooled by their actions
And the crazy things they do.
Some adults are nothing more...
Then kids in bigger shoes.

They sound quite brilliant,
The rantings of a madman...
To those with like minds!

They drift across the border
Some drunk
Some looking for work
A better life
Drug runners
All working on night moves
They never move during the light of day
Trails through the desert
Coyotes leading them to uncertain destinies
A cattle car or a van stuffed liked sardines
All for the hope of freedom and money
We sip our coffee and watch CNBC
And complain about our jobs.
Never realizing there are a subclass of people
Ready willing and able to take those jobs for less money
We live on the edge as they do
The weak always get cut out of the herd
And the strong survive.
Be careful what you wish for…
A double wide and a lunatic living next door
Could be your future.
Appreciate what you have.
Strive to get more, but remember the wolves are at the door.
And they will eat you without any regrets.

Within my psychedelic psychosis divided by hell’s malignant mitosis,
Navigated by narcotized neurosis absorption through opiate osmosis…
Within my lunatic leverage of will, I needed to miraculously madly mill,
The negligent neurons of my ill amidst a faltering fragment of my spill.
My eyes that bear the bevel upon derelict distortions of a devious devil,
Laboring the leprous level of the seismic seizures that I neatly nestle…
In the abyss of my lacrimal laugh, I stand segmental with my satirical staff,
Decorative deceptions on my behalf as I stare at the world a genuine gaffe.
No real resolution to ponder for the quicksand of mind quivers yonder,
A sinkhole of a weeping wander amongst sacrifices of a slaving squander…
Thus in my sanctimonious seclusion within my catacombs of confusion,
The universe disperses diffusion along with programmatic parallel illusion.

Inherited the dreams of lunatics!
like a "straw eaten up" blowing by wind
to mind's eye," so I rushed
cleaves the heart whiteness in anger
from the upcoming days.
Ah _ oh( lunatics' wisdom)
How many wounds you left in the mind!
When submerged herein
So! I reached a half crazed,
and half sagacious.
Inherited the dreams of lunatics!
So fantasies came drunk,
like a ghost roams ecstatic hilarious
Not for the mind - eloquent
Nor ear sober.
Laughing and crying
Then crying and laughing
Then cry
An exquisite images without hypocrisy,
Nor unambiguous as if a kinsfolk road
became Straight.
Shouted in amazement for a half a minute,
and then died.
So there is no grief fueled by or poultice.

No matter where I send you, you return.
The fault lies in my own emotional navigation,
Wasting words and energy for energy's sake.
I hurl you into dead end corners,
So you can climb back into my brain.
All that's left are forced giddy-ups.
So help me check off all my screw-ups.
A job for lunatics.

We once had a doctor called Boole
Who hated to look like a fool.
If his diagnosis was wrong
His face grew so long
It made me feel positively cruel.
When I had a rash on my brain
He thought I was going insane.
But calamine cream
Worked like a dream!
So I shall use it again and again.
Doctors have a difficult time,
When patients won't toe the line.
But we need our own voice
And to make our own choice.
We can't fit into another's design.

Stomach reaped wide open,
intestine and liver exposed,
Man becomes guinea pig for the slaughter,
A lunatic on the loose.
Premature deflowering even before her prime,
Eight years old girl raped,
A savage on the loose.
Able bodied men and women caged,
price tags on each part of their body,
a head for fifty,tongue for twenty
and breast for forty,
How degrading and animalistic?,
Lunatics on the loose.
Psychotic patient goes on rampage,
on a shooting spree,
twenty-five including children were murdered,
A lunatic on the loose.
Bombs were detonated at the market square,
killing hundreds and thousands,why?
for selfish reasons,painted with religion,
Lunatics on the loose.
Fights of the giants
covered with covetousness;evil scheming colored
by goodness and benevolence,
all to claim superiority,
Lunatics on the loose.
Money meant for the needy diverted
to private accounts overseas;
many are dying of hunger and malnutrition,
Lunatics on the loose.
Inciting and acting as a negative catalyst,
two countries prepare for war,
ammunition and nuclear war heads sold,
genocide committed,innocent youths and children killed,
A lunatic on the loose.
*Note #2-I will continue to be an advocate of good governance,Justice and Sincerity......
I will continue to fight,
until they do what is right
and their deeds brought to light,
This craziness should be out of sight,
I will neither slumber nor sleep but write
until things are done aright and the day becomes bright.

Rattled by a few folks whose intents are unknown
Terrified Earth trembles at its own shadow.
Both believers of the holy Cross of renown
And the lot who face Mecca every noon
Feel this palpable cloud of fear and gloom.
Watchdogs seem to gaze solely on the moon
Unsure of these beasts’ beliefs and aspiration.
Procreating under the shadow of the crescent
They unleash terror in a cloak of divine inspiration:
But the wise one world is not deceived!
Our shared web will capture our common enemy
And abort cross-cultural threats being conceived.
Sleep will yet fill the eyes of our young ones
Bringing with it the liberty we once achieved.

Crown of Sonnets
I knew you wouldn’t leave me for long.
Loathe the maverick? I would do, but
Mummy always told me not to hate.
You and I shall be friends,
Resting forever in this rapture.
How quaint,
Those dark intricacies become you,
Woven gently into that blanket of yours,
Such a beautiful blanket…
Subject to availability of course.
Dear diary, dear diary,
Chicken nuggets for tea today.
I’m just a poor little baby,
Silly siege mentality, foolish Freudian shadow,
Your bittersweet halo scorches my skull.
We fooled them.
Content with false dominance,
Deceived by my dirty Pavlovian response,
Nature taught me her old trick, how to exploit shallow beauty,
Like the enticing skin on rancid fruit,
To hide the rot within.
There’s no need to get cocky,
I need some time alone, its tiring
Constantly weaving this immaculate dance,
Counterfeit angels, emerging demons,
I’ve found a flaw in your game,
Now speak nicely, count to ten, use your indoor voice,
I feel suffocated,
Smothered inside your brittle inferno,
Soft collapse and rigid rebellion,
Choking on the flames,
Burnt breath, hot noise,
Like the touch of lasting whispers,
Breaking into shivering dust, ashes
…to ashes.
Ripped screams, flailing limbs.
A difficult birth.
Who’s the parasite?
No matter,
we’re both bound
by our perverse umbilical cord.
Let me feed,
and in turn I shall let you tighten
Your soothing collar around my
Th...ro…a…t.

I'm sure you've heard the expression
In love with love
Well that's me through and through
Nothing in life is more important
It can take over one's whole being
But there's a bunch of lunatics in the world
Who give us peace loving *****sapiens a bad name
The lunatic fringe is what they're called
Whose brains haven't developed beyond kindergarten
In their mind, they're still fighting their schoolyard battles
But on a much, much larger scale
With much more tragic results
Human life is expendable
Not a consideration in the scope and scale of their conquests
The end justifies whatever means necessary
A side of us so called humans to be least proud of
Will it ever change?
Unfortunately I must answer no
It seems to have been ingrained in our psyche eons ago
No one is perfect
But these lunatics are at the other end of the scale

FULL MOON-LUNATICS ARE COMING OUT TONIGHT
The situation don't look too good tonight.
There's gonna be a full moon tonight.
I'd stay at home, if I could, tonight,
there's gonna be a full moon tonight.
I feel it coming,
there will be strangers out tonight.
Every strange thing that you see.
Every act of lunacy,
happens in this lunar glow,
where they come from, I don't know,
but it must be lunacy.
Lunatics are coming out tonight.
It's a full lunar situation, tonight.
Strange goings on, will go on tonight,
there's gonna be a full moon tonight.
Every stranger that you know,
comes out in this lunar glow.
Every strange thing happens when,
there's a full moon out again,
and when it's full, they all know!
Lunatics are coming out tonight.
It's a full lunar situation, tonight.
Strange goings on, will go on tonight,
there's gonna be a full moon tonight.

(Life apart from Earth is to be expected, BUT are they visiting us in flying saucers? An appeal to reason.)
Lunatics Love UFOs
By Elton Camp
Unidentified objects often appear in the sky
But that sure doesn’t mean that aliens fly
An important fact the lunatic fringe does curse
Light velocity is the speed limit of the universe
The next nearest star is four light years away
What, to a reasonable person, does that say?
Unless “aliens” don’t have to eat or drink
Could they make that long trip, you think?
Even if to this earth they could somehow get
How could they possibly get much benefit?
They would be vastly more advanced than we
What, of value to them, could they possibly see?
Kill cows and abduct some ignorant hillbilly?
Doesn’t that seem, to you, extremely silly?
Those who believe in aliens, ignorance reveal
By claiming there is a vast conspiracy to conceal
UFO believers, to convince others do your worst
But expect rational folks to laugh until they burst
