(A report for fellow suffers)

Young Christian with Schizophrenia
Yeah, you’ve heard it in the media.
Was arrested on suspicion.
Of spreading the word and radical-Isaiah-shun.

The witness hung around for weeks.
I mean, the nerve of it, the cheek.

As the court room drama unfolded
The public started applauding.
But all for the wrong reasons.

They cried, “Try Him for treason!!
We caught This Man blaspheming.”

The judge began the case.
“We know your mental state
Of mind.

This time no fine.
Your crimes in line
With hospital supervision section,
Order number 25,
53. 33. I mean number 3.”

“Excuse me,” Insurrection!
“Release him for a season.”

The public defence suggests,
No clear motivation.
For aggravated contempt.
Or any bad intention.

“Does this Man have selective amnesia?
I mean, look at all the hysteria!!!”

“Your Honour, it’s a clear case of mistaken identity.
He thinks he’s the Son of God, you see.”

“I’m sorry it’s too late.
Take Him outside the city gates.”

“I endeavour.”
“What -ever!”

The Pha- right- sees culpable reason.
For extreme measures and public crucifixion.
