Sanity.
A thread pulled so tight,
It could snap any minute.
Buckets of vividly colored paints Of thought,
poured on the canvas of judgement.
Why is it so worthy of speech?
Why must man emphasize their sanity?
Because it is idiotic.
A person cannot be sane,
Because one cannot be insane.
Sanity is the new word for morale.
How can one be immoral,
If sanity is insane.

I wrote this piece as a point to say that sanity does slip away and that once its gone sanity useless.
