The traffic is high
the night is dark
but the mad man
doesn’t care.
He runs madly
and carelessly
by the roadside;
his feet bare.
A bottle in his hand
and tears in his eyes
he drinks as he runs,
amidst anyone’s stare.
He is mad, so he is free
and no one questions
his authority.
He can kill- if he likes
he may not, if he mustn’t
No chains bind him at all;
of reason nor responsibility.
Tears block his vision,
so for a moment he stumbles
but this doesn’t make him stop
or go against his decision.
The mad man keeps running
and the world begins to fade
the traffic soon dissolves
in a hazy, unknown shade.
No one knows where he ended
what his quest was, what he wanted
but they say in a planet of madness
only he had life comprehended.
