The Insane Man

The top is spinning, and the line

That runs through it is still

In that centre lives

A man; ignorant of himself,

Entombed by four walls,

The walls are spinning


He is the Insane man;

Being born again and again

But never dying

There he lays unmoving

Caught between life and death

Stuck in the midway


He is the insane man,

A dead mans’ dream

Steeped in sin

Smeared in blood

Sticky and sick

A man

Who has become his

Own shadow


He is the insane man;

Falling into abyss

But never hitting the bottom

His eyes are dead

Blinded by unrealized dreams

His body is decaying

Eaten by moths

But his lungs are breathing

Breathing in rot

He is the insane man

Death is beckoning him

But he has no strength to move


The walls are crumbling

The top is spinning

The man within lies

Undying, unmoving

He is the insane man

And epitome of ignorance
