Creative Madness

Creative madness makes life beautiful
but why and why this frenzy
of cremating madness of all values
deep drilled into the holes of utility;
please please stop and look 
you are deep-frying your infancy;
childlike innocence makes life
divine or at least superbly effulgent;
but why why this fever
of dismembering and sale of parts
for the sake of heavy bucks;
let the creative madness linger long
leave it; all things are not merchandise;
profit margins make you puerile
leave something out as elements natural;
do you ask me what is the use
of literature?, of values?, of art ?
of philosophy? of the creative laziness?
what is the use of you
when already dead while breathing
suffocating airs from carcasses of calculation?
leave something undisturbed
let the creative madness linger somewhere
somehow in some ways
even if it be in blind rituals or stones carved
or erudite meanderings of theologies past.
but why do you run away
and hide somewhere
values will not chase you
when the nemesis does overtake you.
