Sick Minds Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Sick Minds



The Mind's like a sponge, it absorbs
Whatever oddities it is fed
Consuming in its mental orb,
The vague Reasons to where it's led.

Too much engrossment with Death
And a morbid attraction for Violence,
Is sick Mind's signs of neglect
And the fruit of a wasted intelligence.

Paranoia breeds thoughts not healthy,
And when nurtured, decays the Mind-
To create an abyss of Unreality
From where much Delusion we find.

Mental erosion is a slow atrophy
That drains the brain with rusted views
Eating its health into sheer lethargy
It ends up as a cell without use.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The sick mind discussed here is one where the person has an unhealthy preoccupation with the tools of violence and death, such as chainsaws, hunting knifes, serrated cutting tools etc, intricately stating bloody gore and tormented death, even necrophilia (sexual encounter with a dead body) . These thoughts are not normal and reveal a very distorted mind.
