Sanity bends lines and walls
So that it may see them straight
And yet the line-by standards met
Sits crooked on its slate

Mezmerized by standards still
Insanity has met
The line thats coaxed into its place
And in light it breaks-still yet

Sanity will smash the line
Incisions will be made
Insanity is sanity
With much more left to trade

Insanity vows by the line
And listens to its voice
While sanity destroys the line
Inhumane-by choice

The author's comments:

What is sanity defined by the insane and insane defined by the sane....what is sanity to those who believe themself sane when others believe them insane....
