Michael E. Harris Poet Narrative

Truth Be Told

YOU'RE NEUROTIC AND SO AM I. 
THE ONLY QUESTION IS THE QUESTION WHY. 
THE DICTIONARIES MEANING SEEMED PRETTY WEAK. 
I SURELY NEED MORE THAN A PEEK. 
I RESEARCHED NEUROSIS ONLY TO FIND. 
NEUROTIC STARTS INSIDE MIND. 
CARL JUNG EXPLAINS IT WELL. 
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE I CAN TELL. 
JUNG SAW NEUROSIS IN POLITICS. 
WHERE DECEIT, CORRUPTION AND LIES ARE THICK. 
POLITICIANS CAN NOT ADAPT. 
THEY CROSS THE LINE AND CAN'T COME BACK. 
HORNEY'S THEORY IN HER FINAL BOOK. 
GAVE A THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE LOOK. 
A DISTORTED WAY OF SEEING THE WORLD. 
INSIDE THEIR HEAD EVERYTHING'S SWIRLED. 
COMPULSIVE DISORDER AND VERY OBSESSIVE. 
AS  TIME GOES BY IT BECOMES PROGRESSIVE. 
ANXIETY, HYSTERIA, CONTROL DISORDER. 
LIKE JUNG SAID BEYOND THE BORDER. 
IT'S ELECTION YEAR SO BE AWARE, 
OF WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR ON AIR. 
DON'T FOLLOW THE HEARD THEY'LL LEAD YOU TO SLAUGHTER,
TELL YOU EVERY THINGS FINE AND PLEASE DRINK THE WATER.
