LOVE’S PARADOX
by Michael Langston

Tell me how…
that one lone thing
can bring such joy…
then bring such pain.

How can its teardrops
be both two things:
both tears of joy
and tears…of pain?

In addition to an unprecedented worldwide epidemic of diabetes and obesity, our world is experiencing a similar unprecedented epidemic of dementia. Could it be that the adverse dietary factors that are fueling diabetes are also fueling dementia as well?

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
by Michael Langston

I would not want to be
Standing in your shoes
When what you did to me
Comes back on you.

The tears that fell
When me you used
Will flow again…
Through your eyes too.

And all the sorrow
And all the pain
That fell down on me
Will gather up again
And fall down from heaven
In a pouring rain…

You can’t change this weather!
It’s by God ordained.

It should be noted that the tragic suicide of Gwen Olsen’s niece was caused entirely by drugs. After having a psychotic reaction to a combination of drugs she was taking, she was placed on a cocktail of psychiatric drugs, which led to her tragic suicide.

NO WORDS CAN COME
by Michael Langston

I’d like to plainly state in verse
How one cursed night could be no worse,
But from the depths of my despair…
No words can come from out of there.

Gwen Olsen describes how psychiatric drugs caused the tragic suicide of her niece Megan and how this horrible tragedy, caused entirely by psychiatry and psychiatric drugs, influenced her personal decision to get out of the pharmaceutical sales profession.
