[hometext] => I thought it quite disturbing how the public would pay to go and laugh at the mental inhabitants of Bedlam ( Bethlem hospital) and the voice here is from a person who did.
[bodytext] => The show of Bethlem’s freaks we visit To see the monsters kept in their small cells A vision that sees not one of them fit Feeble thin bodies with mephitic smells Oh how amusing to see how they fight! Trying to break the chains that pin them down The stick I poke them with they try to bite What abnormal humans make these sounds! Their misery unearthed I feel no thrill The first time now I notice their deep frowns An old feeble man sits quietly still Has death broken the chains that pinned him down? The rants and raves have left him now, he rests In peace he leaves the body he possessed.
