I want the straitjacket
Folder:
NO EYELIDS
The patients of the psyche ward are
The modern shamans of the westworld,
Prisoners poisoned throughout the day,
Months if you can’t escape, life at stake
Maddened by mind mazes enslaved-
Sacrificial genocide, future of mankind.
This excellent and haunting
This excellent and haunting dose of reality reminds me of Emily Dickinson's "Much Madness is Divinest Sense", but brought into the present day with all our new chemical restraints while expressing the same societal oppression that always existed.
This is piercingly brilliant:
"Maddened by mind mazes enslaved-
Sacrificial genocide, future of mankind."
As a proud advocate of the straitjacketed masses, I applaud this defiant, undaunted and very sane work of art.
Thank you, Sister Trish
When I titled the poem I admit I was a little daunted, even considering "straight jacket" to subtly suggest a shopping spree instead. just to keep my karma safe. But a proper Poet embraces, encourages even those possible dangers in order to stimulate their world-experiences as nourishment for the emotional content of their artistic expression. Unfortunately it commonly comes at the cost of their own sanity and well-being... RIP Robot

It's was certainly worth the risk here. Your reply was as priceless as the poem. My respect, proper Poet!
