So sad.
So,
Pitiful is the crazing madness.

'Yes.
And,
So it seems to appear that way.'

Everyday the mayhem seems to escalate.
Spreading as if,
Syrup poured over hot buttered waffles.

'Make my mayhem to come done,
With Maple syrup on my hot pancakes.'

Either way,
It has become difficult to take seriously...
What people are being made to assume,
This horror and tragedy of it all...
Is just a forgettable episode,
In America's long list...
Of great and terrific historic events.
Embellish to exaggerate,
A corn swapping...
That escalated into a cowboy Indian thing.
Afterall...
What other country produces,
The greatest stories told to sell sold?
And molded into reminiscing memories.

'Especially to sell handmade moccasins.
You are so right.
But today...
More it seems,
Created are conflicts between ourselves.
With heated allegations made,
Towards neighbors, friends and relatives.
Leaving many people claiming to see,
Bigfoot and other creatures...
Thought to be from out of space.
And...
Have intentions to stay,
On their property staring at them.'

What do you mean?
Staring at them!
Where on Earth is your mind?

'Check this out.
They are staring.
As if just as amazed as everyone else.
As if they are awaiting,
Screams to hear and people calling 911.
To be declared...
Threats and enemies to a way of life.
But nooo! They await patiently.'

Awaiting?
Awaiting patiently?
You sound crazier by the second.

'For official word from the government.'

There is no point made to ignore you.
Continue with this...?

'But those in leadership positions,
Have either become distracted...
By their own self importance.
Or trying to come up,
With new and fresh frightening images.
But what to call them is the dilemma.'

Why not just call them monsters!

'Sure.
Why not?
Especially this time of the year.
When everyone during Halloween,
Wants to reveal who they really are!'

Spring soon will come.
And there will be something introduced,
People will fear.
With a rush to make it official,
A need to be pinched, pricked.
Or vaccinated to prevent,
Stupidity from spreading an infection!

'You're scaring me.
Stop it.'

Me?
You're the one with the mask on.
Covering another worn to fake.
Tell me...
What sense does that make?
