explaining my natural contempt for psychiatrists
PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF
I was treated once by a psychiatrist who said
“You’re doing nothing wrong by going to bed,
With someone for sex, when you’re not wed.
So throw all that unnatural guilt out your head.”
He said all natural feelings, except love of god,
Were normal and right and so I was a stupid sod
And thus mentally ill, for only trying to do right
And wasting my time saying prayers every night.
But he went even further, honestly, listen to this
He made the whole group give each other a kiss
Then share all their fears and acute mental pains
But banning talk of God, sex, or any fiscal gains.
Few of us took any notice of this, which backfired,
As he said he couldn’t cure any people who desired
To stay sunk in the depths of their natural depression
Which resulted, he said, from unnatural suppression.
I don’t know what they paid him to perpetuate my pain
And add lies to the confusion then torturing my brain,
But brain surgery, ECT, and alcohol he used on us a lot
So,when we committed suicide, he’d say,“see the sot
Took no notice of me and the medical advice I gave
He wouldn’t even give it a try or attempt to behave
Like a sensible natural person, doing exactly as he felt,
Instead of saying sorry for his sins as in prayer he knelt.”
