“Duh-Smiley” once said: “I know you like hats, so I brought you some hats.” [Her “hat” looked different.] She was writing a college paper on mental health. [I was her topic.] I did not care when those, of whom, were “learning” A new trade came into the room. [My “lonely-child” Turned “isolation” Was her sub-topic.] So, “we” kept it up; [She did not “know” my “own trade”, So, that’s when “the behaviorist” came into play.] A woman, of whom, I had “seen behind a glass”, Once, “like being behind a window” was there, Again, when I went to college. [All that I had needed was “one good look”, And she was back.] I “took three steps back for every [three] step[s] forward”. And I had “passed the[/her] psychology class”. But I will “never forget” How I was “Treated” By That School. AND: “By the professionals”, of whom, Called it “Social Isolation” In Other Classrooms. ©2026Ellen Finn

Loneliness vs. Isolation: Social Experiment
Sugar is harmfully addictive but imagine going without. A taste of bittersweet chocolate melting in your mouth. But look a little deeper processed in your bread, hidden sugars in every box and bottle that you’re fed. Mailodextrin the silver bullet of death, they sprinkle it on your potato chips and they hide it in your dips! Processed and re-processed till the sugar has been refined, many American eats 3 pounds of sugar a week and of that fact they’re blind. Insulin levels suffer as the diabetics take their dope, another box of ice cream, another cherry Coke. Pharmaceutical, healthcare and insurance profiting.. A sudden stop by McDonald’s on the way to Burger King.

Sugar Pushers
Show me how to live To die another day Living in this sickness Thanks for the band aid Don't push me your pills My problems not your solution My problem is you Your whole evil evolution Thanks for showing me how to live To die a slower way Please torture me with sickness May I have another band aid You've warped my perception Made another slave Medicated to complacency I can never expect to be brave

Unheard- They poke and **** Absurd- I don’t fit you description of a ****** So doctor, jump me. I didn’t ask for the Endless sob- The rejection of fleshing My health and anxieties Into human form again. You’re not a friend, You’re a judgmental man In a lab coat Who denotes his time to Giving patients unanswered answers And more pills. I’m never going to be sorry I do not fit into this Patriotic Addiction That has taken so many from me- How dare you…
