Another Psychiatric Success - Oakland

ANOTHER PSYCHIATRIC SUCCESS Man feels guilty, thus Man feels bad : conscience halts “pleasures” to be had. Psychs seek cure - Man must not feel bad, with drugs remove what make him sad. Good, lucky Man is free from guilt : no shunning of what shouldn’t be built. He’ll use base feelings such as hate to revel in his psych-made state. Oh happy Man, let it all hang out, you’ve been ill-treated, there’s no doubt - go get revenge, go get your gun, go get plenty of psych-fuelled fun. Go shoot kids in a blameless school, they won’t ever call you a fool. As shots hit home, watch them all run, thanks to the psychs, Man’s having fun. Now he’s the target ? ‘Why target me ? I’m only on a guilt-free spree.’ Those bastards’ guns, they won’t kill him, one shot to head, success, psych’s whim ! Alan McAlpine Douglas
