Poetry: Depression

Prescription drugs on tap,
More addictive than crack
Drugs flowing freely into the minds of people whose thought processes are no longer connecting in the right places.

A brain full of empty databases,
no longer coping with the day to day struggles.
Off sick from work,
a generation of Prozac users educated to just pop'
whenever it chooses.

Alternative therapies disregarded


as if no mental strength was ever constructed
through self-exploration or brain masturbation.

Hasn't the mind suffered enough?
All that Sky digital
taken as biblical.
Poisoning the thoughts
to enhance the self pity and increase the consumption.

Woops,I'm really sorry, that's an assumption

These people have suffered mass genocide of the brain cell,
No longer equipped to give somebody hell
But how much for that kiss' and tell'.

"Sorry, can't make it in today or tomorrow,
I'm feeling stressed out, Jermey Kyle's going to talk to me about it and give me some advice
and maybe sell me some for half price.

This will help me cope you see
with the tragedy I saw on T.V,
It was a country far away from here
Glad it's got nothing to do with me.

Surely a chemical reaction
Occurred in the brain when
Half of Sudan was slain

Yet the people were left to cope
As the world stood still and pushed the little red button
on their remote.

    No sorrow lingered

    You know that hangdog feeling
    When life's kicked you in the crutch,
    When the world seems ranged against you
    And to breathe seems

    There you are in the mirror again
    Looking for hope and even a friend
    The blemishes you find that no one else sees
    You cry in

    by Ali Farbanish

    A shadow flees through the night
    Swift and stealthy
    A demon
    with glowing red eyes
    She stops
    in front of a bistro
    Moves in,
    closing
