Madness Poem by Ravi Kopra

Madness



My heart is mad
everyday it plays games of innocence

It puts gasoline on fires
and then runs to look for a fire hydrant

It must be deserted
wants some excitement

Do people who go on rampant shootings
have such deserted desperate hearts?

Aloofness kills their hearts
killing might revive theirs'

That could be in their thoughts
if not, what else then?
