Critics
Who is to judge
Those inflicted with madness
Officers, doctors or magistrates of the law
Maybe, philosophers
But, I say no one
But, the Almighty God
Many shades within a society
Yet, we deem ourselves sane
When we lock up the derelict
And throw away the key
Are not their minds already locked away
But, who’s to say they are the insane
And we ordinary, common and normal
Because, typically aren't our lives
Already in fear locked away also?
