Social Madness Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Logic to the winds blew fast,
Leaving common sense corrupted.

It's social madness,
Carried on backs.
It's social madness,
Did a lack of cash do that?

Logic to the winds blew fast,
Leaving common sense corrupted.

It's social madness,
Carried on backs.
It's social madness,
Did a lack of cash do that?
And gone.
Gone.
Gone...
Is the benefit of senses.
Did a lack of cash do that?
With offenses.
Did a lack of cash do that?

Minds are dazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And crazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?

And gone.
Gone.
Gone...
Are many fools on the loose.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And abusive people.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And hunger everywhere..
Did a lack of cash do that?
With those homeless.
Did a lack of cash do that?
Rise of fear.
Did a lack of cash do that?
With evil near.
Did a lack of cash do that?

And gone.
Gone.
Gone...
Is all common sense.
Did a lack of cash do that?
Minds are dazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And crazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?

It's social madness,
Carried on backs.
It's social madness,
Did a lack of cash do that?

Logic to the winds blew fast,
Leaving common sense corrupted.
And...
Gone.
Gone.
Gone,
To never come back.
Common sense!
Where is it at?
Did it up and scat?
With the big fat cats.

It's...
Social madness.
Did a lack of cash do that?
Minds are dazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And crazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?

It's madness!
Did a lack of cash do that?
Minds are dazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And crazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?
It's madness!
Did a lack of cash do that?
Minds are dazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And crazed.
Did a lack of cash do that?

It's...
Social madness.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And sadness.
Did a lack of cash do that?
It's...
Madness.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And sadness.
Did a lack of cash do that?

And gone.
Gone.
Gone...
Is all common sense.

It's...
Social madness.
Logic to the winds blew fast,
Leaving common sense corrupted.
It's...
Social madness.
Did a lack of cash do that?
It's...
Madness.
Did a lack of cash do that?
And sadness.
This...
Social madness.
