    Just Crazy

    It really
    smarts
    when smart
    people
    get stumped
    and it’s
    pretty unfair
    when pretty
    people get
    bent out of
    shape
    and when
    someone
    with drive
    is driven insane
    and when
    an organized
    mind
    gets all
    messed up
    and one
    who seeks
    answers
    is questioned
    and if
    a questionable
    character
    isn’t frisked
    or a frisky type
    is sedated
    and 
    a socialite 
    left alone
    and a loner
    escorted to
    a party
    while a major
    player is
    given a
    minor role
    and a 
    minor drinks
    too many tequilas
    well, these
    are the times
    that  one
    must
    step back
    to get a bigger
    picture
    of this little
    planet
