“The Mad Room
It’s where I go when I’ve lost my temper,
my mind on fire, no way around or out
of the chair on the dirt floor in the cellar.
I’m not one to give into her pressure,
as corporal punishment is all it’s about.
It’s where I go when I’ve lost my temper.
Why does it seem she relishes trouble?
The soap in my mouth, the foamy shout,
only the hard chair hears my whimper.
It’s where I go when I’ve lost my temper.
The bare light bulb hums, little doubt
I will die alone, kids the curious spider.
My bottled-up scream, I can never tell her
comes from the fear of living without
her love, not from her duty as a mother.
The room closes in, but I don’t bother
to move an inch. Everything is silent
except the hiss of pipes, an angry mother.
It’s where I go when I’ve lost my temper.”
“The Mad Scene. Enter Ophelia!”

“The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. 'Where is God?' he cried; 'I'll tell you! We have killed him—you and I! We are all his murderers. But how did we do this? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Where is it moving to now? Where are we moving to? Away from all suns? Are we not continually falling? And backwards, sidewards, forwards, in all directions? Is there still an up and a down? Aren't we straying as though through an infinite nothing? Isn't empty space breathing at us? Hasn't it got colder? Isn't night and more night coming again and again? Don't lanterns have to be lit in the
morning? Do we still hear nothing of the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God? Do we still smell nothing of the divine decomposition?—Gods, too, decompose! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How can we console ourselves, the murderers of all murderersl The holiest and the mightiest thing the world has ever possessed has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood from us? With what water could we clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what holy games will we have to invent for ourselves? Is the magnitude of this deed not too great for us? Do we not ourselves have to become gods merely to appear worthy of it?”

“The madman theory can work, but it only works if it's strategic. And I think one of the problems that President Trump faces is people don't really know how much strategy is here and how much is he just sort of talking off the top of his head.

And this is the truth!”
