WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THE LUNATICS?

Back in the day, there used to be places
where the mentally ill could be taken care of.
They were fed all the drugs they needed to keep
them from becoming violent or self-destructive
and in a some of cases received therapy

to help them regain their grasp on reality.

But today, it’s a different story. The minds
of literally millions have been poisoned
with lies, an age old technique that helped
dictators gain and hold power.

But, even if all the asylums in the country
were re-opened , they would only be able to
house a small fraction of those afflicted souls.

The others would still be free to ignore the basic
rules of plague management, storm the halls
government demanding who knows what, and

of course, worship the dictator wannabe de jour.

This is the challenge of our time.
