Calamity and Sanity

Calamity and Sanity What if I were to have a heinous calamity How would this invariable affect my sanity? Maybe might go into some state of remorse End up having to let nature take her course. Could it be a personal psychotic tendency Then end up developing a drug dependency By several defense mechanisms be overcome Result was they discovered I may be dumb. Paranoid could also be my beckoning behavior No longer spending things being an over- saver And everyday often seem to have over-slept And my whole mind becoming mentally inept. Nice and normal some say is best way to be So you can start living a lot more comfortably Also what should make much prevalent sense Is become like a liberal exhibiting tolerance. It all sounds great to me. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran God was never mentioned in my poem but He is the only one who could have helped me through all of these many things. This is a 24 word sentence requiring 24 years of education. Wow.
