In memory of David and Gary

 

 

Obama tried to make health care reforms

But the changes no one was taken by storm

 

In Sweden we are gauranteed equal health care

In USA when your insurance runs out you are shit out of luck when you get there

 

Mental health patients are sent to a state hospital, and I stress state

This is the absolute worst of American psychiatry, what a fate

 

Barbed wire fence surrounds the basketball court

And I was at such a state hospital when my money ran short

 

In a psychiatry hospital you will find all kinds of personalities

But here I want to concentrate on two patients that left memories

 

David and Gary

 

To see this type of thing it shakes your confidence in God, scary

 

David was catatonic, and Gary walked around like he was lost in the woods

The workers certainly neglected plenty of coulds

 

There was a seperate room where they counted how much we ate

Catatonic David, I saw it first-hand, got to remain in the main room and took 10 minute breaks between each spoon of soup that he ate

 

It was a sorrow scene the whole psychiatry

And Gary walked around some pattern endlessly

 

Checking his door every tenth minute if it was locked

Yes it was, he wasn't schocked

 

He wanted to lay down that is

And every time he tried to lay down in the main room on a bench there was a voice with a hiss

That it wasn't allowed

 

David was catatonic, in other words did not move

Except for every fifteenth minute something to his subconsciouns soothe

 

One time he was standing, just standing there in the bathroom

Someone had to tap him on his shoulder that this was not yet his tomb

 

And the giant heart I possess

I have two strongest memories of these persons that will be no less

 

Apparently we had the luxury of receiving the Chicago Tribune for I was reading the sports section

Ans David awoke from his catatonic state to ask how the Chicago Cubs were doing

I gave him their record in the standings

 

And just as quickly he sunk his body in to a landing

 

Before I wish them a flight into the sky

I want to tell the strongest memory of Gary, when we said hi

 

Mind both these persons were practically unreachable

But one time I made eye contact with Gary and he blinked

A soul inside detectable, and detected

...Now I feel at peace telling what I had inspected

At that state hospital stay I think it was two-thousand one

 

And my third piece in a row from a Swedish psychiatric hospital ends simply as

May David and Gary be where the angels fly!
