You would feel more relaxed,
you wouldn’t be quick to judge
if only you could — understand me.
Meet my friend, Mr. Insanity.
He crept out of the closet,
the dark recesses of my mind,
to visit with a reminder:
Be careful, or you will be — blinder.
And let out a blood-curdling laugh!

Can the cat have people dreams?
Could that sleeping purr just be
putting dreamy moves with feline grace
on a babe so smooth to deserve a cat call?

I see what I want to ignore
Unable to hide from it anymore
My happy face has gone away
And now I don’t want to go out and play
There are people starving
With many more in pain and dying
No real homes for warmth or shelter
Our world has become helter skelter
Sitting here on a soft warm bed
I can’t get their pain out of my head
I wish there was something I could do
But I don’t know and neither do you
