Just released from the sanitarium Cold cruel empty world took me down Malnourished, tooth abscesses' Manic Depression Isolation Brought me to the brink a bad state of melancholy I went to a hospital ER for help They don't do dental work Dentists are Satan in disguise The AMA knows this and won't let them in their Genuine Doctors' tribunals
I got released with the bogus diagnosis of ****** abuse I told them I took the medicine cabinet drank a quart of ***** and that would be it. THE END You have heard of Catch 22 here's Catch 23 If your in the nut house for a failed attempted suicide All you have to do to get out is say I don't feel suicidal any more. That easy.
A foreshadow to this poem.
Industry took away my know how I couldn't make my own shoes I couldn't make a yoke to mount the ox I don't have To plow the back 40 I'll never own If my life depended on it
I can't build a house of logs Would die quickly without central utilities Food would vanish after days of no electricity People protect there own and I'm a lone So I pray I am not the first to go
I try to be a human being The best was I can Trying to see through the muck With prayers, and great hopes And Luck I hope I can continue to be.
A human being
The world a lot less crazier place in a sanitarium, Just do as your told.
