Madness

I read the poem
of a mad man
He cursed God and Christ,
Joseph and Mary
He cursed life and people
He cursed himself
being simple
Raging against the machine
Only if he would have stopped
and listened
then clarity would have come
things would have made sense
He would have realized
that all things are done by God, whether good or bad
to the intent that man
may know that he is not god,
but mere ashes and dust
He would have come to the knowledge
that liberty
is first a state of mind,
then a reality
at the last judgment


Shalam,
