“The madness train”
The madness train
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Time to know what real pleasure is. Before it is too late.
The Madness train
I’m twisted up.
Hogties to bullshit.
I’m strangled with useless things.
I can’t recognize my face in the mirror.
Life based on my salary.
Paying bills.
Buying more useless things.
New generation of children.
Always wanting more.
How many toys do you need?
Today I will go to the River.
Sit and try to find my mind again.
Take my child to the park.
Toss a baseball.
Shoot a few baskets.
Must stop this madness.
Put away the video games.
Turn off the televisions.
Go outside.
Feel the sun on my face.
Get un-twisted.
Get un-hogties to the B.S.
Get off the madness train.
Live life for the real pleasures.
Friends and family.

Great post! Life changes a lot when you stop to compare things of value with things that don’t have that value. You find yourself getting rid of low value things in your life. Bravo!

I guess that confirms I’m getting really old when I start doing the wise thing? I guess that “old enough to know better is finally kicking in” LOL! Have a great day!

You are right my friend. I’m following my dear Grandfather advice. Think before you act or speak.
