Experiences on VA Hospital Psych Ward.
THE ANGELS NEVER CAME Strapped spread eagle to my bed I could not move beneath the tarp Locked dark room - one blue light The Angels never came I yelled and screamed and cursed President Nixon, VA Psychiatrists Even yelled at God The Angels never came Free from straps But still locked room Blue light my only companion The Angels never came “I’ll put you to sleep.” The dentist said No, no, no! The Angels never came One by one all teeth came out Zylocaine, Zylocaine please stay! Nothing left, mouth pain The Angels never came The Blood Lady came with her basket I’d give all the blood she wanted Until my arm became blue, paralyzed The Angels never came Without warning Lithium washed my mind The Angels never came They were always there #

I can identify with the confinement, strapped to a hospital bed for 22 days.
