The Dark Side<br />
Crazy<br />
Aaron Wilkinson<br />
Am I a crazy man<br />
There’s some might say it’s so.<br />
I’ve never been a fan<br />
Of those who think they know<br />
What’s really going down<br />
Behind the social show.<br />
I’d shtick and play the clown,<br />
To stay the angry blow<br />
Delivered in the dark<br />
Behind a warning frown<br />
Despite “Algonquin Park,”<br />
No matter where we’d go.<br />
At times I’d want to run<br />
Away for good and narc.<br />
My youth was roughly won,<br />
No pomp and bunting lark.<br />
They went and missed the mark.<br />
I went and bought a gun<br />
To shoot inside ‘cause, Hark!<br />
Thy first anointed son<br />
Was greased upon his crown<br />
To never bite but bark<br />
And thought that skipping town<br />
To head up North and shark<br />
Would go against the flow<br />
Enough as not to drown<br />
In misery and show<br />
His eyes were never brown.<br />
My yes is often no.<br />
I turned away and ran.<br />
It’s dark behind the glow.<br />
Am I a crazy man<br />
