It is a crazed world Where sanity and insanity war Man tethered by responsibility Grazing between choices Choosing a pathway to lifelessness The black hole of all human life The one side that we do not know Pulling each one of us randomly When man chooses sanity, He lives to a scale Set by the society, family and himself Balancing happiness between all Hmm! What are a wondering way to live? Sometimes I do think its easier to be insane At least then I don't have to play by the rules My dad a preacher, and mom a judge Both speaking of hell, One allegedly ruled by demons, And another built of stone and bars Designed for people like me The sons of anarchy? She replies, " yes indeed!" And why do I believe her? Is it a paranormal feature that all mothers have? Or they just tap into their children's naivety? Using sincere eyes that say, all is well Hmm! A powerful weapon they wield But anyway, this time, some part of me still hinges On the thought that insanity is better Cause one doesn't have to be tethered by anything am I demented? Tell me, really, am I? I understand that responsibility defines life It is the soul of sanity And yet most of those who choose it seem unhappy Unlike our brothers who choose the later Living care free and drowning in physical laughter And yet, them too are not truly happy Tell me dad, what is life? Is it the choice of how we make us happy? And if yes, what is happiness? Is it that gained by sanity or insanity? Or may be both? Huh? Tell me Yours truly, Markus, The 10 year old son Note: I will be playing with Cathy next door Thought you should know in case you need me I love her hair and she smells good I understand you don't want me to play with her But I just won't stop Reason, because I like breaking rules Love you mom. Love you dad

Dear mom and dad
It is a crazed world Where sanity and insanity war Man tethered by responsibility Grazing between choices Choosing a pathway to lifelessness The black hole of all human life The one side that we do not know Pulling each one of us randomly When man chooses sanity, He lives to a scale Set by the society, family and himself Balancing happiness between all Hmm! What are a wondering way to live? Sometimes I do think its easier to be insane At least then I don't have to play by the rules My dad a preacher, and mom a judge Both speaking of hell, One allegedly ruled by demons, And another built of stone and bars Designed for people like me The sons of anarchy?
