“All The World's An Asylum (Sonnet 1235)
All the world's an asylum,
All the people are lunatics.
Some are but loonies of love,
Some loonies run by prejudice.
Some die running in love of currency,
Some die sharing the currency of love.
Beyond the grasp of dollar and euro,
Love is the only nonvolatile
currency in the world.
It's good to be a loonie,
If the reason is justly humane.
When human welfare is at stake,
It's only logical to be insane.
Sane, insane - be as the need arises,
To hell with the judgment of nitwits!
In an organic world no sanity is absolute,
Boldly walk the spectrum as the purpose fits.”
