Schizophrenia

Yelling at hallucinations with grimaces He confronts shadows in public places And donning wooden face, tosses Between manic depressive psychosis Dialogues incoherent, logic weird But bizarre visions surpass Dali and Picasso Or in self-inflicted agony invoke Dante's Inferno Symbolize residual junk--life collecting junks Acting never so dramatic soliloquy never so erratic Sudden threats daze strangers Or his suffering of pity stirs But obsessed by suspicion of thought insertion He keeps blaming others for his own action Withdrawing himself from society He lives in a ***** world of reverie Meeting him gives a feeling of having visited The dilapidation of an erstwhile grand mansion
