Of Why We Should not
Rely on Medication Regimes
To Help Psychiatric Patients
Through Life
The Consequences of
Punishing Victims
Either of Mental Illness
Or Crime
Is that the Result
Is that We Terrify
Alienate
Condemn
and Dull
And We Expect
Them to Suffer
With Little
Or no Rights
I didn't even Fight
For my Own Son
Because I was Instinctively
Aware of How Far Reaching
The Prejudice Was
Even at a Young Age
I've been Overwhelmed
By the HOSTILITY
That Still exists
Towards the Mentally Ill
Even in the Psychiatric System
If We are going to Improve the Care
Of Psychiatric Sufferers
We must set up a Tribunal
For Psychiatric Survivors
That sees to it that these
Survivors are treated
FAIRLY
In Society
The Way it stands
At the Moment
Psychiatric Survivors
Are being Kicked into Touch
Or Preyed upon
They need to Know
That there are People
That Actually Bat for them
And Back them
All I wanted
from Life
Because of Mental Illness
Was a Child to Love and Hold Dear
In the end
Even that was Robbed from me
Universally if We are not
Going to Give these People
Hope and Occupation
As We do the I.H.C.
We are still providing
A Barbaric System
I practically have Premature
Alzheimers
From the Stress of Mental Illness
And Medication
The Place to Intervene
Is When People
Are Young
Show them
That there is
No Need for TERROR
And they will Respond
Positively
Cooperatively
And with Enthusiasm
Drugging them
Confining them
And Shunning them
Is Not the Answer
For Change I Beg
For Change I Beg
For Change I Beg
