Madness

Madness

My psychosis has no bounds,

for that

I make no apology!

Why should I be shackled

by earthly convention

when I can live my every thought

and each delicious delusion,

and leave this tainted world behind?

Why should I deny my own mind

when it sees with exact precision

the persecutors who pursue me.

When it allows my escape

to happier, albeit false, beliefs

I am Jesus!

The SON of God

And I am free from sin!

My dear friend are you having a David Icke moment?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha,ha Leigh, I certainly think not, simply my psychosis rearing its head again lol

[Leigh]

:-) re read and gotcha, what better person to be than Jesus himself

[DIVYA]

Illusions of grandeur sometimes provide that blissful escape from the dull colorless reality. We all are mad in that we do delude ourselves to some extent, somewhere. We have to, to keep sane. A paradox. An irony. And a great question...Why should we not? No apologies!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha! Soweto are I agreement dear Divya. Many thanks

[Claire Twinn]

So true that for some its a far happier place to live within their delusions, for reality can be a harsh place.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

It sure can Claire wish we could all go there when it suited us lol!

[KAOlmsted]

O.O Wow. And I thought I was an atheist ;-) Nice work. I don't even want to read any of the reviews people have left on this piece xD Okay, maybe just a peek...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Hey it's about madness not religion lol

[KAOlmsted]

See? I should have read those reviews first, I would have known that! *laugh* I like it either way ;-)

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Those who see self as Christ feel Him in their heart, but confuse and think they're the Savior. Divine Madness I believe. Excellent read and write.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Brandon

[SHEEMA HUQ]

I'm stuggling to follow the purpose of this writing,if only to exclaim that the prophet, Christ, did not suffer ith psycosis

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No it is about mental illness. Many psychotic individuals see themselves as Christ. Thanks Sheema

[A. H. Pinley]

I understand that this is your creative mind at work and it is normal for man to think this, but I would have to disagree and we'll leave it at that.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Not sure what we disagree upon AHP?

[quinfinn]

jesus is man's way of experiencing delusions of grandeur. read the back cover of the jethro tull album "aqualung" sometime.....those are my views precisely. excellent write.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

God Quin why is it I like you so much?!

[quinfinn]

"great minds.........." ?

[PP]

Sin itself is a relative issue and with every logic of world sin can be transformed to be a deed of virtue! I liked how you have described precision of the mind! Great work John :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Prathama

I find this poem very intriguing and I love the amalgamation of madness and religion. It sort of brings to mind the customary "movie villain monologue" but with a somewhat sinister twist. Very interesting!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Rose.
