Writing is the root of madness

If the root of evil
comes from money
then the root of madness
surely comes from writing

Edgar Allen Poe
the world's greatest horror poet
was an alcoholic
never had a lot money
his whole imagination was about
death, horror and gore
We praise him for that

Douglas Addams
the maddest science fiction writer
42 was the answer to everything
towels were a must have
in the big scary galaxy
and to top it off...a depressed robot
along with mice the most intelligent life on earth

Stieg Larsson
possibly the greatest writer in the 21st century
known for the millennium trilogy
Those books are all about sex trafficking
Lisbeth Salander the protagonist
gets her revenge by killing people
in the underworld
One death is by shooting a nail gun
into a person's feet to the floor
then allowing a gang to kill him  

Lastly Lewis Carrol
the writer of Alice in Wonderland
quite possibly the weirdest children's book
ever written
why?
well now
a smoking catipillar
the mad hatter
card soldiers
the Cheshire cat
and food that make you grow or shrink

Is this getting through to anyone?
the greatest writers ever to grace us
ARE ALL MAD

Even as I or you or he or she writes
with every topic,
we push ourselves
trying to better the last topic
we are also pushing ourselves to madness

You want proof
I am your fucking proof
writing is the root of madness
that creates the tree of art
