She is declared a mental case
her legs are shackled tight
in the street she snails up and down
naked without food
she freezes in December
near the drain curls up
unnoticed by pavement dwellers
building a bonfire of twigs, papers
cast-off shoes and rags
under the bridge sipping tea
I hear the bell tolling at Rajghat
pilgrims make haste to catch train
--R K Singh

I sing loud in my mumble
On serious matters i struggle
Mind wild like savannah jungle
It spurs jumbled thoughts
That regress in jerks and fumbles.
My presence to you is a disgrace
Im an outcast i am a mental case
Is it because i spoil in my own dress?
Is it because i toil in restless race?
Chasing after things im running from.
I have feelings you understand not
My brain is simply a melting pot.
Am chained but my mind is not
Im pained deep in thoughts
Tears drop in smile like an open tin
Pendulum of mood like a chameleon skin
Perdition like the worst of sin.
They say to the spiritual battle am a no winner
For devil dug deep to reside inner.
Holy hyssop wash to cleanse me cleaner
Oh, im a perfect abstract art
I reflect my badly soiled heart
A victim to my leaking mind
Dripping thoughts normals can't find.
Amidst all, our God still blesses
He showers the same amount of graces
Whether we captured in net of mental cases
Your love soothes my relentless mind paces.
When my friend and I finally got chicks, they decided to leave us.
My friend's name is Butt-Head and my name is Beavis.
I thought that I was pregnant even though I'm a boy.
Because Butt-head and I are stupid, people get annoyed.
I become the Great Cornholio when I eat too much sugar.
I'm actually a mental case who eats his own boogers.
When Butt-Head and I meet chicks, we're sure to sexually harass.
And if you have a teenage daughter, you'll end up kicking my ass.
If you meet us face to face, we're sure to cause great anxiety.
We are both juvenile delinquents who are threats to society.
Don't come near us or you'll get so mad that you'll cuss.
You will be happy and better off if you stay away from us.
(Inspired by the hit cartoon that was created by Mike Judge.)
The rain's come down inside your soul.
Months at a time and take their toll.
It seems the end is coming soon.
And then the angels change the tune.
The fog is thick, you can't see far.
You've spent your wish upon that star.
The avenue is dry and clear.
But you don't know which way to steer.
The best that we can do sometimes.
Is just sit down and write some rhymes.
While others do the work of God.
And try to help you not feel odd.
Someday's the world is bright and fair.
Other days, you sit and stare.
Beyond the hope of ever finding.
A glimpse of future that needs reminding.
Within the moment of despair.
Somehow the sun shines through the air.
And brings a light you thought was gone.
To help you meet another dawn.
Note: This is about how in the midst of my life seemingly feeling like it was a total mess and I was feeling like I was just a mental case now. Somehow I knew that angels, (nurse's and doctors) were there to help me get back to a life where I could see the light and feel once again, hope. <3
Trump is truly an endless fool;
Seems to suffer much ridicule;
Saw his face;
A mental case;
Not only that has a loose tool.
Jim Horn
Trump's Terrific Power
Trump's traffic power was over-utilized;
Mental case with disorders had realized;
We all know,
Is psycho,
And all reporters he continually chastised.
Jim Horn
Combination of an Abomination
Some say that Christ has created a combination,
For what was determined to be an abomination;
Who had a base,
Being mental case;
Determined to be Trump President of our nation.
Jim Horn
Trump Big Idiot
Trump big idiot rapidly is becoming,
And below 60 intelligence is summing;
Careless mental case,
Who is way off base;
Out of him at all expect exactly nothing.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
Big Idiot Becoming
Big idiot Trump is becoming;
Below 60 intelligence is summing;
Such a mental case,
Who is way off base;
Of all knows most about nothing.
Jim Horn
Faint bubbles of ache twinge amidst the froth
Steps cause trips to be carefully guided
But a bricked fall would waist the pain of pace
So weight continues to race pain faced shock
Grimaces speckle the shock one sided
And grace stops hiding from the hate of shape.
A mental case of cause and effect paused
Farce and neglect charged like loss of respect
Swinging at random gusts of wind, fate stands
A pierce that disenchants frozen thought thawed
A pulsating twinge gnawing at regret
Paused an effect and cause both speak demands.
Froth guides the shock of pace shaped one sided
Fate stands as loss of respect thaws regret
Demands then pause a pierce that swings in farce
Neglect effects grace and stops pain felt faint
A simple case of bubbles aches and stress
Yet through aches through stress bubbles always fart
A mental case of bunion and wretchedness...
Do you hear me now, now that I'm crying
Each tear flooding your life
As if I was your angel of light
Glory doesn't shine on this face
I'm far from the golden touch
Growing up
Sprouted my life to be crazy
Cheering up
Should be easy
Its easier said than done
Look at yourself
You've won
He held her hand
He didn't hold mine
Every friendship I've had
Was a complete lie
Poet or rapper
There's a difference
And it has to do
With personal reference
Love is unfair to the hopeless
They desire affection
But their love don't show it
Convict me as a mental case
Love at first site
I fell in love with your face
A Prophecy
John Grisham was rejected by 28 publishers
Before he sold “A Time to Kill”
But because he didn’t say “What the hell”
His books have sold over 275 mil.
Maya Angelou was once a whore
But she wanted to write and sing
When haters were speaking she wasn’t listening
And in 1993 she sang before a king.
Paul Laurence Dunbar was the son of a slave
Wrote his brilliant masterpieces at the elevator door
Determined not to listen to the white man because he wanted more
Now he is an example of greatness for the writing poor.
Tyshawn Nicole Knight was once a mental case
She wrote poetry on the floors in the psych ward
But, she never gave up, she struggled and worked hard
Now she is a publisher and her writers have gone far.
I have a superhero;
his name is Pickett Tupp.
Before you count to zero,
he'll have picked it up.
Grandpa could have hurt his neck
but Pickett, super guy,
picked the peel up from the deck
where Junior let it lie.
I've another super friend;
her name's Poteeta Whey.
If it's out, you can depend
it's rightly put away.
When some kids can't find their stuff
they're like a mental case.
But she'll find it, sure enough,
because it's in its place.
From New Year's to December,
you'll always make Mom's day,
if you will just remember
Pickett Tupp and Poteeta Whey.
I believe in the
Power that exudes from the
Very pores of love
A shroud if you will
Or if you won't, we'll not be
Assimilated
Rather be weaving
On a cellular level
To protect and serve
Some call it Sunday morning
Fellowship others may keep
Score with sweet karma
might look like a buck
For the one legged junkie
Down on the corner
Click each day for free
On the rain forest website
Hug a tree a day
Teachers know the way
Adopt a pet /plant /orphan
Doctors volunteer
Maybe dance naked
Beneath the silver full moon
love has many names
Love your neighbors all
Green with envy got the blues
Pink pink you just stink
Bless the mental case
Pity on all the poets
And we're all poets
Oh! those that deny
Clueless 'cause of the brainwash
They don't even know
Long lost forgotten
land of the TV worship
Too lazy to know
Call it what you like
Grateful to be your partner
You know who you are
