Wherever you roam, in this great big land
Kooks are the happiest, they all have a plan
To shake up the planet
With joy, run the gamut
Kooks unite! If you're one, join the clan...

A smart *ss hermit,
Sitting on a folly throne.
And he always likes to spit,
Bunch of words in drone.

A culturally-modified mime,
In a shirt that dull boring pinky.
Talking about the punctuation and rhyme,
Insisted on how a poem should be.

Oh dear gray-haired kooks..
The words you say wrapped in hypocrisy.
I might not counted smart in your books,
But at least my words cry it honestly....

Mental illness affects one in four
Yet we still close the door

Terms- crazy, mad, lunatics, kooks
Let’s confine to history books

Images of Bedlam and straitjackets distort our minds
Screaming, shadowy old movie kinds

Mental illness is just another disease
Try kindness and understanding please

Sadly we’re stuck in the past
Old prejudice must not last

It’s time to open the door
Isolation, stigma, shame no more...

what did i go here for
was it the mountain of mashed potatoes
marching me
toward the Simon light
if my memory…

red...beep…
     blue...beep
green...beep
     blue...beep
yellow...beep..red

helicopters overhead
a bright light
the calvary came

the desert storm
haboob of aliens
through the gate

they be strange creatures
with cutouts and lanterns
boozing and screaming

they be us kooks
and those be their warning shots
area 51 adieu
