MADNESS

Do not buy madness:
journeys of poetry
prizes and honours
tiring self-delusion
crazy loops lead nowhere

enjoy the drink and drift
on the choppy sea
you will find the shore
fledgling your own tongue
playing middling genius

--R.K.Singh

I think we all buy madness at times in our hopes and our dreams. I did and perhaps still do?
But now your advice would be mine.
