The Sins Of A Madman by Rapsody(m): 7:40pm On Jul 23, 2007 |
The sins of a Madman he staggers into d church and sits on d pew glad 2 hve made it among d chosen few he finds refuge from his raging thots his features relax into a calm of sorts D preacha walks in clad in saintly dignity regally carrying his sanctimonius identity D madman spots him and breaks into laughter gales & gales of it shaking d rafters D saint trembles in righteous anger his face a mask of fury as he drives out d stranger D lunatic stumbles out of paradise;his look a sad one who will forgive d sins of a madman! |

Okay, I'm feeling ya. But I still wonder if you're personifying something using the mad man. |

denex: Denex man. . . that's the beauty of the creative arts; you see different depending on where you're looking from! @Rhapsody, this is brilliant. . . the last two lines of 1st verse/ first two of the next conflict some to me, but the writer is best in the know. . . it'd blow an audience away if well read - i marvel at the conciseness. . . champagne stuff! |

@ruddie Thanx man! Glad u see my vision. I intentionally made those verses contradictory just 2 heighten d contrast and emphasize d theme of irony which runs thru d poem. @Denex if u insist on it being an allegory,then i guess d lunatik is symbolic of d nigerian youth who seeks salvation in d govt only 2 discover d govt needs more help than he does.In anger and disillusionment,he mocks d system and gets ostracized as an outcast by d powers that be.Savvy? |
