Bedlam

hello dearest Cipher I see them all around me the homeless crazy it's so sad
it makes me cry for them... here is Cali there is little option for them
my son is Schizophrenic I am so grateful he no longer lives here
they do nothing for the mentally ill
he lives in another state where they do help them
has a decent life maybe not the one desired but safe and comfortable without being a prisoner
that's the other way they treat the mentally ill...

I've been treated like that before in the hospitals like an animal who misbehaved...\

powerful write...

Tis true, Crimsin.

And then it's like...  I was wondering about
the term crazy.  You know.  That's potentially offensive.

Its like...  That's all most people want
to argue about.

As though they speak for "the crazy".

That's another thing...  That I sort of stay away from.
Because sometimes people get crazy maybe?

But yes...  Another perspective I was thinking about...

The state of the mental hospitals that
were shut down.

What is crazy...  Is that those places may
have been worse than whatever is happening now...

Which is a bold statement.

What is also...  Crazy...  Is how in California,
out of state legal firms pushed for laws to be
made to legalize homelessness and petty theft
and such...  and public drug use and things like that.

When all along it was just a ploy...

A sort of...  Gentrification...

In order to access billions in government money,
under the guise of giving the homeless shelter.

I mean...  These places they're talking about
are like luxury condos.

In prime locations, in the middle of a bubble.

When life long inhabitants were pushed out.

Just...  Crazy.

I appreciate you telling me of your son.
I hope for the best, for him.

I appreciate your perspective.

A sad truth… poetically penned…

Indeed.

Thank you Lil.

Thank you BP.

reasons they may close each
political place

Lunatics running the asylum.
