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.
