I'm So Appended I'm Landed Gentry Poem by Sheldon Carruthers

I'm So Appended I'm Landed Gentry



I have the blood of the landed gentry although my life has turned out rather sedentary
I was incarcerated at the age of twenty six
When a psychiatrist thought I belonged with the lunar ticks
He didn't believe me when I told him my life had been threatened so he ordered a medical intervention
To stop my paranoid thoughts delusions and false beliefs and the genuine reasons why I was suffering from grief
But he was more of a thief than a doctor I do declare and he didn't care what I thought or how it was unfair
The injustice was quadrupled but in his defence he war a nice suit and spoke eloquence
He studied at the royal college of psychiatry where they teach all about us lunatics you see
To take all your words then move them around and draw a conclusion that this man's mind is unsound not a chance that he might have been telling the truth oh how awful that would be and how uncouth no it's safer to lock him up where he'll  be silenced forever and left in a daze for the rest of his life and probably beyond the grave
For not only I won't believe him but the whole world too you should have gone to the police my lad instead of confiding in  fools
For psychiatrists can't be reasoned with there job is to take notes if you were drowning they would ask why  you did not have a boat
I'm sure these characters are sincere in what they do believe they are good and did well at school but how can they not see the harm that they cause and the lives that they ruin their logic so flawed

As Peter Begin says " the most dangerous thing you can do is see a psychiatrist"
