A Patient Patient

A patient patient,
In the hospital of God.
Fed the medicine by the doctors,
To bring me into the ward. 

Here's your lessons,
Here's your obstacles.
Take them to help yourself,
See you again soon. 

You'll be looked after,
Again sent to freedom.
Injured quickly by life,
Returned to the theatre. 

A patient patient,
Dependent on divinity,
A drug of choice,
Immensity of existence.
