schizophrenics? oh you mean the professors? the charles xaviers of this world? there's a few, statistics suggest about a 100 : 1 ratio... nothing special in terms of rarity... nonetheless, a telesensivitos acquired against all hopes, of turning it into a telepathy, or a telekinesis... i'd still prefer people think about their symptom, dreaded as it is, as a sensitivity which minds, regarding the existence of a soul, and experiences the materialistic "reality" of people, who give no foundation for exploring the theme of uprooting their body from the matter and the dead that binds the eyes to decay, and lifting it toward the status of the ethereal... it's plain and simple with me: sorry professors, you have to sense these materialistic endeavours in others, who'd lie that it's you.

is it just me?
  why do i find that the lack of medical
dualism, i.e. regarding depression
as the physical abnormality
of lethary,
i.e. a brain in a pickle-jar:
is emerging as the "hippocratic"
  dichotomy of the motto:
i will inflict no harm,
should i find no alleviation...
human rights my ***...
   spread of democracy my ***...
you group the mentally "ill"
with the retards...
you're breaking something
of worthwhile consideration...
for some reason
psychiatry exists within
the sphere of medicine:
but outside the sphere
of the hippocratic oath...
irony?
  i don't think so,
"mental illness" has more
of a political basis
than a medical term...
since few people find
interest in it...
   i can count england
as a proud violator of
psychiatric endeavour...
  and, in that anti-cartesian
narrative i have in my
head...
  most of the time it's
not cogito ergo sum that
pops into my head...
rather?
    3, tiny words, as follows:
go **** yourself,
and i stress the most hidden
of sarcasm's worth
ever expressed...
          again:
   psychiatry is in the sphere
of medicine, but it's
   outside the sphere
of the hippocratic oath...
i was talking to this one
schizophrenic in a dark alley
and he said be unfathomable
stories from an asylum,
he cited anti-psychotic
medication...
   you know he said?
'oh, those pills had the effect
on my friend in the asylum,
where he grew a pair of ****!'
my my... ain't that a truth
worth remembering...
   so what's supposed to be
anti-psychotic medication,
is akin to hormone pushers?
i bet the guy didn't want
to join the transgender community...
      then again,
what if you took that strait-jacket
off him, and sent him down
the track, competing with
castor... ****, sorry, caster semenya,
you think he'd... she'd, it'd win?
god knows i tried jerking off
to that 8th wonder of the world...
but that's what psychiatry is...
covert sadism,
     institutional sadism...
     psychiatry entertains the notion
of being medicine,
   while in fact remaining outside
the hippocratic dogma...
no dentists really wakes up one
day and say: time to pull out the wrong
teeth...
rarely a surgeon says to himself:
make sure you forget and leave
a surgical tool in the body after sewing
it up post-operation...
   well... given the "medical"
angle of philosophy and buddha's "wise"
sayings about the illusion
of the cognitive self...
       i'm pretty **** sure
a lot of psychiatrists wake up and say:
time, to, play, and **** around
       with this guy's or this gal's ego
matrix of thought.
   sure, the self, otherwise known in
existentialist texts as the "self" can be
illusionary, but sure as **** sherlock:
thinking ain't.
    i even managed to hear a confession
from one psychiatrists,
   he even brought a psychiatry student
to suss me out...
   all i did was take out my cognitive "mirror"
and hear him ramble out
   a sentence:
   he must have been abused, as a child.
me? abused?
    sure, i had an alcoholic grandfather...
   but it's also the same grandfather
that sometimes buys my cigarettes,
        and, fair to say:
bought me the philosophy library
  of the *gazeta wyborcza
... 25 books...
the one i spent most of my summers with...
clearly this sinjit broopatal of a psychiatrist
(he was asian, sorry) was
talking about himself,
   slip of tongue, and i started thinking:
did he mean to think that,
or say it out-loud?
             psychiatry deems itself
a medical profession,
   yet its practice and ethical condunct
lies outside the hippocratic oath.
