Dear Judge,

I've been rich and poor
Poor is better
I've been owned and disowned
Disowned is better
I've been heavy and light
Heavy is better

I've been drunk and sober
Drunk is better (helps you forget)
I've been stripped and clothed
Stripped is better
I've been in love and not in love
Not in love is better

I've laughed and cried
Laughing is better
I've been blessed and condemned
Blessed is better
I've been free and contained
Free is better

I've been American and Canadian
Neither is better
I've been humane and inhumane
Humane is better
I've been looking for the answer
And this is what I found

There's so much to do
So don't waste my time

Regards,

Paul
