Drugs only help
To Tranquilize the Patient
Humanity must Accept
That if  we are to be
Compassionate to
The Mentally Ill
We must
FIRST
Ensure
Placement in the Work Force
Show them that there is Hope
Workhouses/Health Clinics
I Believe
Are the best Option
for Rural Communities
The Lives
Of the Young
And their Aptitudes
Must not be Sacrificed
Stigma destroys
Our Young People
With Mental Illness
If we are So Angry about Experimentation 
On Animals
We cannot go on with
This Inhumane
Approach to the Care
Of the Mentally Ill
I couldn't get a job
As a Tea Lady
At the Waikato University
Because I wrote that I was Bi-Polar
Or so I Guessed
Who Knows that might not be true
But do You get My Point
Psychiatric Medications
Only Help to Rob
A Person of their Faculties
In the long run
We need a Society
That Shields and gives
Them the Same Rights
As everyone else
For only then
Can We call it Justice
I could have done very Well
In the Work force
When I was Younger
Inertia and Unemployment
Are a Dangerous Trap
For the Disenfranchised 
We must See to it
That it Doesn't Happen
Hope is Important
to the Mentally Ill
Once again
I say "Treat them as Shell Shocked Comrades and always, always, treat them with Respect for their Psyche's have Suffered in the Present Health System.  As a Society We must move forward toward Compassion instead of Hatred of those Disabled by Mental Illness.  My Life has been pure torture for which I would be happy if Someone Shot me from behind so that I could let go this Mortal Despair and have a Fresh Start.  But it is for my Child and my Child's Children that I make this Plea.  Bi-Polar is Genetic and if the Gene were ever to Surface again I Hope that We can Provide more Dignity and Comfort for Psychiatric Survivors.  Employ them and Keep Society Safe.  And of course if You don't Employ them You are breeding Time Bombs!
