Genius vs Psychopath

The line between genius and psychopath
Is sometimes fine.
Both have brilliant creative minds
And a disregard for upsetting social norms,
But the genius has something distinct
Which makes their contribution worthwhile
And that is compassion for the humanity
It doesn’t ever quite fit.
