Paranoia
Paranoia: short circuit to madness
Walking around freely,
Yet our minds are in straitjackets
All these voices & choices
Will offer mental hazards
Control your action
As thought misfire accident
Check your medical aid
Before the consciousness blockade
Check your sense, in reality,
While your brain cells are in casualty
As you stand in crowds
You mind is gathering clouds
They see you while you are in "ICU"...

Mental Illness
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...
