Insane Ranting of an Overheated Mind

 Any creative effort - no matter how daft it may appear - is a search for meaning.

Leonard

Excuse me while I kiss the sky

Jimi Hendrix

The perpendicular pyramids of perplexing thought
And a stupendous polarity of power
Will accrue in a creative apotheosis 
Of mesmerising miasmas and preposterous perspectives
Where a conscientious concubine counted coconuts
In a catastrophic cradle of a crank civilisation
Where desperate denizens of disproportionate depravity
Detonated a device devastatingly destructive 
That ripped through a ravine of ravenous reptiles
And created a crater that sent circumspect citizens
Into spasmodic spasms of superfluous superstitions
That did not do much to disambiguate dilemmas 
Of a domineering demagogue
Who went into a cacophonic circumlocution 
About weird were-wolves and mythical monsters
Moving in primeval pastures of a primordial period

Do what?

I can't believe how effectively you just summed up all of mankind in a few sentences. I liked the repetition of 'c' and 'd' words, and you had me scrambling for a dictionary a couple times. Excellent job. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- "If you've ever emptied the back of your pickup truck by driving backward really fast and slamming on the brakes, you might be a redneck" - Jeff Foxworthy Bill Engvall: "that's how we moved"
