“I’ve spent several years studying the primitive people in various parts of the world, and I’ve come as a missionary from them to the people of modern civilization, and I beg of you to learn of their accumulated wisdom.”

ON AWAKENING ONE MORNING
by Michael Langston

I think I could lie and sleep forever,
Forsake the world and its light of day,
And enter upon the darkness of an eternal night;
Let the sounds of wakefulness at last disappear
Till only silence remains;
And consciousness gone and thought passed away,
Fall into the abyss of a deepening sleep…
Until sleep becomes as death;
Existence extinguished, all life put out,
Become the nothingness from which all things arose
And to which everything must pass:
To awake no more to see
The glaring light of another day.

Since it’s a proven fact that so-called antidepressants increase the risk that a person will commit suicide, should such drugs even be called antidepressants? These drugs are, quite often, causing people to become suicidally depressed and causing suicide.

A WISH
by Michael Langston

I wish I were a child again,
Could pass the way from now to then.
I’d view the world as it was before,
As it ought to be, as it is no more;
And all of time could pass me by
And leave me there…and go and die.

Antidepressants are not the only drugs that can cause psychosis and suicide. Marijuana use can lead to psychosis and suicide as well. Sally Schindel discusses how marijuana use eventually led to her son’s suicide by killing his soul and ruining his brain.

SOMNOLENCE
by Michael Langston

The clock ticks.
The light shines.
A door slams.
The wind whines.
The hours pass.
The day goes…
It’s bedtime now;
Take off your clothes.

Let darkness come
And sleep descend.
Dream of flowers,
Rain, and wind,
Of ages gone,
Of times to come,
What never was…
What won’t become.

Lie in still and silent form;
Let outward darkness be.
Become the flowers of your mind
Within the black infinity.
Create the sun, the moon, the sky!
And inward color be.
Flowers growing, there to find,
In the darkness see.

So-called PTSD is not a disorder in the sense that it’s a medical disease. It is a normal human reaction to an abnormally stressful environment. Taking a psychiatric drug only makes it worse. Mental function is severely impaired, which impedes recovery.
