UNTITLED FROM FT. MAD

They say I’m the killer

Convicted of murder

But steel curtains

Have taken the life

Of my dreams and future

This is the diary of a madman

In an institution

They gave me a slow death sentence

But called it life

They took my future

But gave me time

They never ascertained my state of mind

Was I insane yet sane enough to lie.
