Madman

madman
do you think he sees us
should we whisper
what will he do
	as he touches all

They're crazed;
They see only one.
Trembling voices hide.
We know their evils —
	their priorities and politic,
	and their fantasies.
There, air is foul.
That ground is raised.
Stagnant waters swell.
Here is truth;
	unheeded reality,
	the message we bear.

Hear this shamed voice.
Here are many words.
We have nothing more.
These offered, untaken:
	that concern,
	this experience.
Know this evidence.
Nurture and share this love.
Revelations come.
Those vain possessions
	are taken virtues
	and wasting pride.

They follow caustic lead.
They blaze a perilous path.
We cannot stay their fall.
Turn and enter again;
	here is reason;
	here is their hope.
Seek not that fantasy.
That paradigm  must fail.
We stand in the light.
We wish not that harm —
	that perilous descent;
	that viscious anthropophagy.
