Broken Minds in Solid Bodies
Location
Wounded body of Carrie-
the Cancer patient
Wounded soul of Barry-
the Bipolar patient
Not her fault…
Not his fault…
A brilliant bird within a cage
A brilliant mind within a rage
A battered cage within the bird
A battered mind within the Word
Support and charities for Carrie
Judgment and skepticism for Barry

“You got this, Carrie”
“Deal with it, Barry”
Unequal lines, distorted lies
As hard as it is to live, ought’en we to forgive?
For Carrie has a solid mind
Though blow-by-blow her body takes
Barry’s mind’s a muddled mess
Though strong and firm his body wakes
Flowers and cards adorn her room
Silence and sorrow bedeck his gloom
Shattered windows ‘mid sunken walls
Reveal spacious rooms and royal halls
Next door a grand old mansion stands
Though built of sticks and dunes of sand
No judgment, like poor paint, should fly
Until we take a walk
