I've kidnapped them or so it seems and so they scream and scratch me draw blood clawing sheets and gowns with desire to get out to home not knowing where that is couldn't make it if they did bodies sick as minds I bind them softly to beds soothe them with meds I've got to send them off to dream inside what's left inside a place where they can let me doctor this choice I make to get them better while they are non-the-wiser Is it wrong to put them under am I white coated cruelty or duty owed Hippocrates taking those who know not what they do and to them do onto.
