How can we not
be mentally ill?
When the followers of
The Prince of Peace
are the bearers of hate
and bigotry and behave
with such scorn and derision,
when the wild conjectures
of the desperate are
given more weight
than the actions of
honored leaders,
when lies repeated
over and over
are transformed into truth,
when centuries of science
are dismissed in the
face of magic and myth,
when the values of
fairness and good will
are rejected in favor of
distortions and fear,
when paranoia
is valued over reality,
when children are
arrested for achievement,
when the exercise of authority
is more important than the
protection of life,
when we are willing to
destroy our own earth
in the interest of quick profitsm
when we value guns
more than the lives of
our own children,
what is insanity?
How can we not be
mentally ill?
