"Much Madness is Divinest Sense" by E.D.

As a wunderbar segue to more societal issues we delve into the paradoxical and satirical poem of the ever lovely E.D. In this one, E.D. gives us a little seeming contradiction with which to enrich ourselves by equating "madness" to "sense." And then stating if one has "sense" then one really has "madness." Yet to be mad, in the speaker's eyes, is to disagree with the majority, to demur. Society will then tell you thatcha craazzzzy if you would ever consider to disagree with them and that the only sensible thing to do is blindly assent. Yet when one does not think for themselves or at all, then one has no brain function and is madder than a hatter. Yet to use one's brain is madness by society's standards, yet logically, to think is to have "divinest sense." YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT THE BARBIES, SOCIETY!! WWWRRROOONNNGGG!!
