Driven To Madness
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Slowly driven to madness.
And comforted in zip codes known.
As to whom or who it will be,
To most likely enjoy the ride.
Abnormally dysfunctioned mentalities sit,
High and in once respected positions.
Come together incompetently,
Deciding to please...
Those wealthy by making their wants,
Not to need top priority.
With a selling of their souls for the right price.
All have their hands,
In the pockets of corrupted fraud.
Disobeying rules to laugh at following laws.
And...
Satisfied they are,
To be slowly driven to madness.
While pledging their loyalty to money.
Easy to obtain,
When no one questions...
The health of one's brain or mental stability.
Slowly driven to madness.
And slowly driven right out of their minds.
From comforted in zip codes known,
As to who or whom awaits for the ride.
To be dressed to impress inside.
Awaiting to be driven to madness.
And selling souls to exchange for gold.
Awaiting to be driven to madness.
As they tell more lies to hear them told.
