Crazies

People are always changing
One minute their sane
Then their mind is blazing 
Society has a term 
They call it crazy
But to to me society is just plain lazy

To lazy to learn why they snap
Or if anyone ever cared to
Love them back
Prescriptions u give 
As if they were all
guinea pigs 

Dancing around in 
Shiny wigs
To you they are numbers
With dollar signs 
Nothing but a wast of time 

But they are people 
Too
Just like you 
Uniquely designed 
But through the destruction 
Of man kind
They are corrupted
Brains easily disrupted

But you diagnosed them as 
Something insane 
Something worthy to be contained
So u lock in rooms
And give them prescriptions
Nothing of which could ever fix them
Man kind destruction
Hide him away
Don't tell the people what we find today
Man kind corruption 
But that's nothing new

Jokes on them
They're not the healthy few 
But only the corrupted too.
So on a scale of 1-2
How often are u feeling blue?
Silly me I outta take a clue,

Depression rates high
I swear give it a year,they'll touch the sky
Tell me how these people get by
With little to nothing every night.

Autumn,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
