Exorcism
Lobotomy
Electroshock therapy
cast your demons to hell
for history has many a story to tell
Trepidation as they perform the trepanation
And as an explanation
that involved the exposure, with no sedation
of the brain
in a process that can only be called inhumane
cutting away chunks of skull using hand drills
a quick trip to B&Q
always a good answer to all our medical ills
ancient stone implements, to banish the demonic visions
allowing evil to escape
save the patients from something more sinister!
Mesmerism, using magnets and filling the patient with iron
to play around with the body’s magnetic alignment
All played out by a man in a purple gown
using his hands alone, probably to the beat of some mystical sounds
to dramatically cure the illness of the day
A stage magician on display
like being cured of your ills by Dynamo today
Darwin's grandfather had a quick-fire cure
to clear away the mental fog for sure
He would spin us quickly like on a merry go round
And rotational therapy spread quickly around
Using a chair that spun
sounds like a fairground ride - oh what fun
It will clear your brain congestion
scream if you want to go faster
it will cure your depression
In London they had a surge in hydrotherapy
this soon streamed out into nearby towns and cities
A quick dunk in a freezing cold bath would clear any malady
Insomnia, depression, suicidal ideation
All fixed by ice cold water and a relaxing dip
but they quickly pulled the plug on that one
though the results were quite promising
though that may have been more the change of lifestyle they were also offering
a relaxing countryside, healthy food
a spa weekend for the mentally subdued
not the worst thing that history could do
Insulin shock therapy took its place
high dose injections to keep the demons at the gates
causing seizure and coma to fix those of a fragile state
The patients awoke refreshed and free of symptoms
if you fudge the reports
And that's if they wake up of course

Thanks for reading
I am having a bit of fun with this piece,
but if you do have/or know anyone that may have
any mental health issues then please do seek medical help,
we are no longer stuck in the middle ages,
there is help out there, dont suffer in silence.
Peace & Love.
Kyle.
