IS IT TRUE
Is it true, what they say;
That it is better to be sane?
It's true, I could not say;
For I've always been insane.
Can the sane, lay their heads
upon their pillows,
without waking up dead
surrounded by the devil's angry billows?
Do they not hear the screams
that often torment me
in my most sinister dreams?
Such bliss, I suppose, was not meant for me.
Oh what a life!
To go outside, unafraid of the dark.
Oh what a life;
I have had so far.
But dare I pretend;
for just one tomorrow;
I would not be dead;
so unafraid of my shadow.
Is it true, what they say?
It is true, I can't say.

Poetry: Sanity
by Tom Mcmurray
Banished as we are from God
We are the sacerdotal lepers
Of the moon who feed upon
The universal majesty of star-dust

I'm the lost reflection of you
Yes, I'm the sinner and beggar too
Too far gone to be saved now
Long gone lost
Dear Sanity, you are my only friend
But why do you disappear and then come back again?
Do you not realize how much I need
No one will be the wiser,
if their involvement is not known.
incompetency is the issue,
until you have no tone.
if recognition
Congratulations!
You made it through another day,
and the little white men didn't take you away
in their padded wagon
to a place
