Pompous Refusals

I became mad the day

I saw the world.

The ant saw my world,

And became mad too.

The cow also;

We shared a common madness.

Only I seemed to resent being mad,

They're OK being mad

Because madness sometimes fill a void .

When, finally, I decided to search for enlightenment,

I invited them too.

They refused, with the pompousness

Seen only among the enlightened.
