The Madcap

Insanity

Why do I do the crazy?
Intentional destruction of all around me?
Needless threats
Hurling insults one by one
I don’t listen to the voices of sanity
I only hear the whispers in my head
Leading me to stiff revenge
Strong action, instant reflex
No reflection
Only action

I get my jollies by retribution
Vengeance against those who oppose me
They must listen
They must obey
My orders no matter how insane
Because they fear me
They know that I have power to destroy
Like a demon in shadows
Fire from my fingertips
Will incinerate their souls

Why can’t I make them suffer
Playthings weak and willing
Who don’t respect me
Who only deny my power?
When I have destroyed everything
I will look at the rubble and laugh
Because I will have won
All others will lose the game
Then I can pass on to the Great Beyond
Knowing my obligation is fulfilled

I have won…I am done.
