Innocent But Proven Guilty

Locked in a cage, surrounded and trapped by medical fools,

Who rather than acknowledge common sense, find reason

In un-sound logic and play around with professional tools,

As in heeding archaic advice by scriptures written by heathens.

 

What needs scrupulous attention, is a mind struggling to cope

On pharmaceutical concoctions, that is a trial for the patient –

And in a lot of circumstances an error of judgement in a scope

Of neglectful care by staff without the appropriate patience.

 

Nurses and doctors alike are appeased at the quiet of hidden distress

That is so obviously viciously attacking a victim’s consciousness,

As in to wrestle with your thoughts, and to be agitated in restlessness

Is a palatable taste that satisfies one and not the other in a biased congress.
