You’re not insane
No!
You’re not crazy
not at all!
You’re suffering
so, so much
from a nasty affliction.
It is part of so many of us
scrubbling aroun
in the dust
trusting that we must
do
…you’re not insane.
Haha-!
No, not at all!
Sure there’s more
They don’t know what’s in stall
before the penny drops
But it’s all about learning
and yearning
Burning with the fire
Inside all
Who know what is right
that lives trapped in fright
frozen knowing the flowing
notion of right
No, you’re not crazy
tied up in knots
That’s not what we’re about
you feel it true
Knowing you’ve got the right idea
as the left leans
And the right seems
to offer common sense
It’s not to them
that sensible sense
That doing harm
has a cost
That feelings
don’t matter a toss
That we have more to offer
than faith or strength
That we are
what we evidence
But silent we stay
seeing those who enter the fray
Burnt and cut and diced and hurt
we stay quiet
Observing
and calculating
Measuring
the way.
We have no power
yet we are not victims
We know the principle
off by heart
We watch and wait and note
each starting and ending
Each foot rise and foot
fall
That our species takes forward.
We watch this newborn thing
learn to walk.
