Modern Day Junkies

The drugs dished out by 21st century barbers
are in the dark ages like electroshock treatments
of the mid-20th century
and patients are still doin’ the Haldol shuffle.
The facts docs want to stifle.
Cure all pills sweats and chills.
Involuntary muscle moments
and organ depletion make for
a deadly combination.
So called mood controlling meds poison runs
through "your" veins
That causes addiction,
desperation and intense bodily pains.
Modern day medical world junkies
are grappling for their lives
as pharmaceutical companies
rake in billions of dollars in revenue
while their counter part attorneys jostle clients
with a pending death sentence point of view.
Instead of iron cages for the insane
now it’s a chemical thick binding steel chain.
Every act and emotion is carelessly labeled.
There is no real medical help
for the mentally disabled.
Most in the so called “professional” mental care
community are self-righteous control freaks
that get their kicks out of dominating patients
and they think they are saints!
Who is going to believe the mentally ill?
Doc push another pill!
Kick back dollars fill their pockets.
Costs of so called "medicines" rockets!
Modern day frontal lobotomies
are being executed by the push of a pen.
A supposed mental hospital is
more like a drug induced prison.
Fug’em and their frickin’ book learned hoops!
They haven’t got a clue!
They’re just trying to justify their diplomas
and make money to satisfy
their need to be in high rolling social groups!
Personal experience is my claim.
The mental health system is a shame!!!!
It's filled with quacks playing the money game!
