In our tabulation of psychoanalytic results, we have classed those who stopped treatment together with those not improved. This appears to be reasonable; a patient who fails to finish his treatment, and is not improved, is surely a therapeutic failure.

Thus far
I took treatment;
The body-ache was gone; with it the winter too.
I took treatment;
The allergy was gone; with it the spring too.
I took treatment;
The acnes were gone; with it the summer too.
I took treatment;
The gastric was gone; with it the autumn too.
Sometimes I got fortunes.
Sometimes I was spared.
Sometimes I was rescued.
Sometimes I got miseries reduced.
I ascribed all to my God I believe.
With time I have grown thus far.
With faith I have stood thus far.

Any time the United States government turns over an American citizen, including military personnel, to the government of another country, it is in our nature to want to make sure that they receive the best treatment, the fairest treatment, and the most humane treatment.

A well which is drawn from is improved. [Art is improved by practice.]
The prime goal is to alleviate suffering, and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not alleviate suffering, but only prolongs life, that treatment should be stopped.

The issues of humanity and what is fair treatment and good treatment of a fellow human being should not really be based on a personal sense of right and wrong or judgment.

A Dark Chocolate Remedy
Dark chocolate is very beneficial
It is high in antioxidants that push a button
improving a deficient immune system…
also has flavonoids to help the brain function
When the elderly drink a cup of cocoa…
their cognitive powers seem to be improved
The scientific studies show promise...
a dark chocolate remedy could be approved
Wouldn't it be great if all it took was chocolate
to eliminate dementia and paralyzing strokes
It would be an agreeable and mouthwatering
treatment…retaining memories for aging folks

In the history of the treatment of depression, there was the dunking stool, purging of the bowels of black bile, hoses, attempts to shock the patient. All of these represent hatred or aggression towards what depression represents in the patient.

Treatment-Resistant Depression
I have been treated for depression
but my symptoms have as yet to improve me.
I think,
I may have have treatment-resistant depression.
Taking an antidepressant or going through
all of that psychological counseling.
What (psychotherapy) puts me through,
I am ill at ease
then comes some latter I date your depression.
Unlike most people
whom for not most if not all are such people.
This treatment for treatment-resistant depression.
When standard treatment was never enough.
Flakes of snow leave white claws and dark marks.
Before I was born
and the world knew dark matter,
I was left such like you to ponder it all in depression.
They may not help much at all,
to improver your fears of depression.
And why are your symptoms.
May turns back into June.
Will summer improve only to keep it like winter comes back.
From mild to severe
and may require more help
as summer becomes fall leads back to winter.
Where have all the snow cones gone?
Up the hill
down the slope where I lead you back up into depression.

Just In Case
just in case we are in the middle of a very
nice and interesting chat and suddenly
a sign appears that i am offline and you
are surprised why i ended the conversation
without the simplest courtesy of 'gtg' or
bye, please think my friend that i meant no
offense at all and surely not a fault of my own
it is this power failure again. So don't you
spend sleepless nights thinking that i am
mad at you or that you have done something
wrong or that this world is a cruel one or that
friends simply cut you off from their line without
any reasonable explanation. It is not that.
it is this power failure again. Not the least,
i must have been groping for the best word
for an ending of my latest poem.Bye baby!

Issues
Things will only come to its end
Nothing will change and nothing will remain the same
I may not have been the right person to send
but I know where I'm going and everyone's playing the same game.
Nothing in my life will obtain balance,
Nothing will keep it from going ahead
but each big step I take it will find my talent
and then she will know how much I've improved instead.
Things she has said sure true but not everything
she has said is a true fact;
She still acts like a teen herself even if she acts like it's nothing
She is just pulling another act.
I'm not perfect like you wanted me to be
I know because you made me this way
But now you should see
how much I have to say
To you and him all at once
When the time comes you will know
how much I've improved,
and how much I have done.
You both will see things from my perspective
and will see how my life is different from yours.

Undergoing Treatment
We are undergoing treatment
Watching others in the news
Studying our worst reviews
They say well get over it
Disappear like dinosaurs
To the sound of sole applause
Designed to make us special
If you see me walking in the garden
Dont ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Dont even stop me for a photograph
We are undergoing treatment
Till our ethic fits the scene
Layed out in q magazine
They crave our conformity
Mediocre to the bone
Terrified testosterone
But why do we still face the music
If you see me walking in the garden
Dont ever ask me..
Now and then you get the strangest notion
That theres something missing
But it keeps you guessing
Wild ambition can you really blame us?
Can you entertain us?
Can you give a little more?
(chorus)
We are undergoing treatment
Will the doctors ever cure
These delusions of grandeur?

The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author. If the poem can be improved by it's author's explanations it never should have been published, and if the poem cannot be improved by its author's explanations the explanations are scarcely worth reading.

Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these, but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.

On Clinical Trial
Prednisone, Deltazone
Coumadine, Compazine
Bactrim, Cytoxin
VP 16
costly cocktail of chemical war
remedial armies
seeking to engineer
the nauseous statistics
the kindness of treatment
the allure of cure
the punctures in the catheter
switches just beneath the skin
short scars spreading
where tissue is taken out and entered in
the routine challenge for significance
in an open and diverted time
of search for long remission -
a term of judgement and science
a treatment I consent to choose
and tactically look to use
but did not allow to become mine
do not agree by this to be defined
the claims of remission:
disappearance of symptoms
forgiveness of debt
a last release from sins -
and further kind regimes
so caught the while
in a crude philosophy of treatment
that is placed
with me
on clinical trial.

Over Goosed
Although I walk...
With an earned dignity I pride.
I feel I am not greeted with respect.
And this treatment leaves me in deep regret.
I don't lose any sleep,
Over what has been validated, obvious and concrete.
I see it for what it is.
And what it is has diseased our streets.
I can not believe,
Most times my thoughts.
'Degenerate self perceptions,
Displayed by the 'crazed' with few exceptions'.
I can not believe,
Sometimes my anger.
When thinking of inflicted conflicts,
Which are much over goosed with inflating gander.
Slander...
Backstabbing and character assassinations thrive!
How people can accept life is to be lived like this...
Has found a way to be marketed,
On newscasts from 9 to 5!
And around the clock,
If you are 'hooked' and 'cabe-ill-ized'.
Connected to ALL channels...
Except 'one'!
That 'one' that reactivates grace and teaches,
How one should stay alive!
And I walk...
With an earned dignity I pride.
Defended with an improved understanding!
I no longer wonder why my strides taken,
Or when I am standing...
'Seem' to be done alone!
