Excuse for crimes committed

Excuse for that,

That abuse you heaped on me,

Then wheedled empathy

From those who say, I’m the same

As you, because of a diagnosis

From the ugly thug muggery psychiatry.

Please remember to have some sense

Next time you try to cut down

How I defend myself

Against those who put victims in

The same basket as their perpetrators,

And use those who commit crimes,

That want psychiatric excuses, as a reason,

To perpetrate crimes against the innocent,

Who may well be, only babies.

Excuse me social worker, who gets stalked

And excuses the man, saying ‘he can’t help it,

It’s his mental illness.’

Then forgets to protect and validate

People who have been similarly violated,

But also have that label ‘mental illness’

Slapped on them because they were

Driven into crisis by such abusers.

Excuse me, it’s not okay.

Not okay to advocate for psychiatric abuse

Perpetrated against those who

Are victims of crime, not okay to lump

People in the same basket as perpetrators,

Force them to become unwilling drug addicts,

By holding them down and injecting them,

As if violating victims of crime

Is the ‘least restrictive measure’

For a person who is not violent,

As if… you, as a member of society

Has an excuse for excusing psychiatrists

From committing these crimes,

As if… you, as a member of society

Has an excuse for accusing victims of crime

Of being perpetrators, when they’re not,

Never have been and never will be.

If you like drugs, if you enjoy being violated,

You are not someone who should be

Telling us what to say and think.

Masochism is one thing, sadism is another.

Stop violating people who have had enough

Violence in their life through your acceptance,

Excuses, for psychiatry’s wide-spread abuses.

If you’ve committed crime and think you can

Use that, as a means of bullying those

Trying to stop crimes happening,

So you can have an excuse, to lesson your guilt,

Then, surely, you must realise how wrong

That seems to me.

Committing violence against people

Who have not committed crimes,

Such as psychiatry does on a regular basis,

Is an unprovoked attack. Get with it,

Stop excusing it and never try to tell me,

That ‘some people like it though’.

Because I know people who are so scared,

So brain-washed, they don’t want

To ever criticise, because they’ve learnt that

When they criticise psychiatry, they get

Worse violations than they’re already suffering.

No excuses for psychiatry anymore,

If you don’t get with it, and stop the violations,

Then, either you’re terrified,

Or you’ve bought some stupid, ugly lies

And are accusing victims of being criminals.

You lot, who give psychiatry excuses,

You sicken me. Stop validating abusers.

Psychiatry is corporal punishment

Ways to control,

Now not allowed

 

To beat and strap

And leaves marks

Others can see.

Ways to control

What was started

Through the ways

That cornered to

Control crazily to

Get what was wanted,

To feel big

By making another

Feel so small.

When those words

Come back with

More strength

Than expected,

When actions jump

In to chorus that,

Didn’t think

That there would

Be a mirror to

The ‘obvious superior,’

A mirror that smashed

The kingly into feeling

Like he’s so small.

What to do now

The wall of trust

Is broken down

Because authority

Didn’t make sense?

Revolting fighting

Puts everyone

Under stress,

Unless, unless…

There is a new form

Of corporal punishment

That can be used

To deter anyone fighting

Back against authority.

This corporal punishment

Is called psychiatry.

Through declaring

A human to be ‘ill’

And in need of ‘treatment,’

Child or adult will be

Subjected to such torture

Making it difficult

For them to defy,

Since society is in denial,

Saying it’s ‘for the best,’

That it’s the ‘help’

That person needs to

To ‘manage’ the ‘symptoms.’

Drugged up and feeling

Like they’d rather be dead

Than continually injected

And made to feel sick,

Disabled and humiliated,

Unrecognised and denied

Their rights to opinion

And their freedom from torture

Denied and denied.

And this corporal punishment

Is NOT about those

Who have committed a crime,

It’s about wanting to control

A mind that goes some place

Outside the range of understood

Sense and along a symbolic pathway

Hugging nightmares and dreams,

Buffering the trauma

Of those who wished to control,

Through any means,

What they never should control –

The diversity of humanity

And the ability of others

To express themselves differently.

This negative feedback

loop of manipulative authorities

Attempting to quell revolt

So they can quaff and chatter

About their established class,

Their control of community lives

Through diagnostic charts that

Smother potential and give

Nothing to help a person survive,

Meanwhile, just to hurt more

Their abusers thrive

In the knowledge that no one

Can make them feel small,

That they’ve got the ability

To make those who defy them

Stigmatised and sick.

That mirror is still there,

It grows even scarier

That more it is attacked.

The person keeps quiet,

Doesn’t yell or cry,

But draws the world’s awry.

And people remark,

‘How awful. Really upsetting

That kind of art!’

As they slurp their vintage

And eat another lemon tart.

Shut down, shut up

Keep yourself in a vice

And forget ever fighting

Psychiatry’s society’s

Bugger-up device.
