Poem – Plainly Insanely (By Ray Gallucci)

PLAINLY INSANELY

Insanity’s defined as doing many times

Exactly as before, expecting different ends.

Like beating horses dead, expecting to revive

But never with success, yet still repeating trend.

When process rules the roost, can never deviate

No matter if it makes unquestioned logic to.

For once the grooves are set, no possible escape

Like chariots from ruts in roads of Roman ruins.

Since trains must follow tracks, their destination’sfixed,

While planes con mostly go wherever they can land.

So if hard place and rock you find yourselfbetwixt,

Just plead insanity, and earn no reprimand.
