keeping your cool in the face of complete and utter insanity is easier than you think

 

 

I once wrote a poem instead of screaming out loud. It helped me. Maybe it will help you too.

It’s well known that seemingly crazy behaviour is more often than not a rational response to truly crazy behaviour.

I’m amazed I have not as yet done something completely and totally fucking whako. Truth be told, I am a paragon of patience.

how to remain sane in five easy pieces

a poem by punkie

1

first shut the door

be quick before

your soul

slips further out

2

find empty there

‘tween truth & dare

and chasms

filled with nowt

3

yes, vent your rage

against the cage

write words

that scream and shout

4

now banish fear

the end is near

god’s will

permits no doubt

5

go fight for right

with all your might

laugh last

then dance about.
