Raising the Dead

the other day it occurred to me
while i sat there in the back of a police cruiser
i have just been arrested for being concerned about the environmental health
of over 800 people

I then started to realise
looking back at the events that lead up to my arrest
a man in my life was a suspect for a bank robbery
and never got arrested or persecuted for doing nothing
why am i?

My focus shifted after realising how many times i have called 911
whatever psychology the police are using to protect society that they look for in a cop
is way out of whack

I understand everything boils down to sex
racist people arent racist, 
they are just not sexually attracted to a certain type of people
and are going about pushing people away the wrong way

feeling a little bit aggrevated in a time where everything seems wrong
doctors unable to help me, seems like they torture people in mental hospitals
sheesh are we under attack?

vitamin deficincies 
crazy new scurvy
you poke a dog with a stick for long enough
its going to attack
the first thing going on these people
you end up sending to the torture facility is their mind
no different than any animal
being put through inhumane conditions
why wouldnt a person be susceptable to getting a little ornery
in your little game your playing of making one persons life unfair
until they react, then you don't believe that person, that person gets frustrated
next thing you know you are torturing innocent people in your mental hospital

doctors dont give pain killers
people ostrocised in a society for caring
no laws being broken just psychologically mastering your victoms next emotion and thought

allow me to retort
about your job of looking for the serial killing cop killer
i have no problem calling your number everyday if need be
i can tell people feeling victomised of such a disgusting game
get some fabric paint and write the words living dead on your shirt
if necisary walk around town with one shoe on the other off

someone getting the best of you by controling your life
time to take your power back
 eventually everything will be alright
enjoy taking your vitamins
 reach out every single day
there might be something stupid going on
 dont give up on yourself
you just need to keep on trucking until the right person for the job comes around
as they play their game of making your life unfair
spend as much time as you can playing your game of doing the right thing
believe is all you need to do
take some of my advice
raise the dead your own way
