Bad Sad and Mad.
BAD.
The body lies upon the floor
an old man sits and thinks.
About a life that"s all gone wrong
with so much weight he sinks.
It sinks his heart and soul,
so low that they must die.
But before that really happens
the question now is why.
Why his son lays dead
so soon before his time.
A victim of his life.
That really is the crime.
The old man sat and rocked.
There was no more to be said,
yes nothing much can cure
a big hole in your head.
The silence now was big
the arid smoke had past.
He felt the pain of guilt,
it came upon so fast.
There was nothing now to do
but take out his own life.
He cursed the day he"d met
that bitch he"d called a wife.
His tears they freely fell
as the gun went in his mouth.
A young girl screamed awake
in a place much further south.
SAD.
Yes this man had a secret,
well hidden not a clue.
For when his wife gave birth
it was not one but two.
They thought that they were bad,
being punished for their sins.
That God had cursed them both
giving them unwanted twins.
It was a sorry end
for three out of the four.
But one was just awakening,
a girl who wanted more.
She knew she was adopted
but her history was unclear.
She never really questioned
why she felt this fear.
The fear of life itself,
she had to be real strong.
But that was in the past
and now she felt it wrong.
For the second time that week
she awoke and sensed a flaw.
Something strange was happening
her senses felt so raw.
MAD.
She stared up at the ceiling
as she lay there in her bed.
A thousand things were asking
all these questions in her head.
Her dreams they were so vivid
that they really made her feel,
that something bad had happened
it was almost to damn real.
She stood under the shower
let her sins be washed away.
She put her thoughts together
this would be a special day.
Her thoughts they turned to family
and how it made her pine.
To discover the real truth
oh wouldn"t that be fine.
But her thoughts were put on hold
and it could not get much worse.
She had to change her drugs
said her psychiatric nurse.
For she had been quite bad
and had caused a lot of pain
to the inmates of this ward
for the criminally insane!
There was no family now,
no hope no Mum no Dad.
Just a wretched life...
So Bad Sad
and MAD.
