Poem -
Mental Asylum...
Treat me
With a
Mental disorder
You'll still
Not take
Away my
Heart,
Schizophrenia
Bipolar
Depression
You couldn't
Choose which
Ward,
Emergency!
Emergency!
We have
A problem,
We are
Uneducated,
Extreme and
This is
A prison,
Insane or
Sane
You took
Craziness
In vain,
No knowledge
Of their
Pain
Like zombies
Day after day,
Horrendous
Evil sights
Against
Their
Human rights,
Instead
Tests
Upon tests
To the
Puppet unrest,
In this
Mental
Institute
Was hidden
Gruesome
Dark truths,
Humanity
Turned a
Blind eye
What was
The bitter
Sacrifice?

So much about mental illnesses are still in the dark ages, even today.
Defunct state-run asylums like Pennhurst in Spring City, PA (which has since been shut down and turned into a haunted attraction) are legendary for their acts of torture, horror, and barbarism.
Mental illnesses , while not as easily detected or seen with the naked eye as is your more physical maladies, are just as painful and debilitating.

Very true Dean, thanks very much ?
You're more than welcome, my friend. ≧◡≦
Thanks for reading, lovely people ?
Hello Wayne...
It's so disturbing the way people have all of this today...
Take me back to the past when people had concerns for living not dying and killing...
Nevermind, I guess we've always been a messed up bunch...
Take me to the future instead but, only where all is well...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Thanks sparrowsong, only when all is well eh,
we like and ideal world,
you're right it's disturbing
thanks again ??
:) Interesting piece showing a resolve to articulate the more powerful or dark imagery of consciousness, relating to human characteristics, derived from circumstance or differing perceptions caused by environmental factors.
Intense manipulation of poetic craft to foster emotion.
Take care.
Thanks very much Richard, food for thought, sometimes I don't even know what's going on up there ??
Thanks Tehmina! ?
