GENETIC?

March 30, 2008

I fast become crazy, bizarre and frenetic
when told I am run by forces genetic.
I know that my genes are powerful, still
I’d like to be granted a little free will.
My family origins all are obscure,
and sadly I fear they aren’t very pure,
but if I act crazy, don’t just blame my genes‹
I get great enjoyment from staging mad scenes.
I’d like to take personal credit for those
and not blame my genes, as some shrinks propose.
