Madness

We are all mad people
watching others fight
with each other's brains.
Somehow 'love' is our worst enemy,
becoming so blind.
Blindness makes lovers forget happiness
and turns to stress when filled with sadness.
In other words,
Everyday friends and lovers
may look very normal
yet so mad inside.
Mad of the world,
mad of past mistakes
trying to look at the future
in fear and in blindness
having the best pictures in their brains
with no strategy to get on the love trains.
Sunny days in their dreams yet in reality, it rains.
Some couples like kissing under the rain
while some couples don't.
Blindness gives birth to fantasy worlds,
in most cases this works.
Your fantasy becomes your reality.
Then never dare to open your eyes.
If you do open your eyes,
the world is rotten yet this is the harsh truth.
Love is known to most men and women as 'sadness'
Looking for ways to hide their deepest sadness,
through the booze and Tuesday blues
and empty hot sex is our...
madness.
