Life Is Not Always In Rhyme

Insanity is the game

And reality is to blame.

Enclosed within the walls

Created by life’s pitfalls.

Love’s voice becomes a racket

When heartache is the straightjacket.

Breaking out is conceivable

Cause the lonely are believable.

Take your medicine like candy

For a toothache can come in handy…

 

     Since the root of all evil

          Lies in the mouth of all mankind.

"Insanity is the game
And reality is to blame."
True words and wise poem RRC. And it rhymes beautifully! Yes, there are repercussions to all mad acts and medicine to swallow unflinchingly for hearts to heal. Excellent write!

Why thank you so much

[Benita-Staebell M - Kin..]

I loved these stanzas lines.

Love's voice becames a racket
When heartache is the straightjacket.

Very true for a lot of people love can make you
go completely mad or insane if you really love
this person they just just drive you crazy.

Such an insightful poem this. Sometimes make believe is preferable to the truth, but how do we tell?

Beccy.

You ask a very good question… one that has no definitive answer.

[Matching Socks]

Nicely done!

You got that right sir.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

great metaphor in the end..."toothache/ root of all evil/ lies in the mouth of all mankind"
i think i will need a crown after reading this.

Thank you Jacob… I love the use of metaphors and am trying to keep up with you.
