Unhealthy Valentine

When thinking becomes unhinged
or has it always been by degrees
what are the signs and symptoms
by which we can mark the disease
in progress in world earth patient
perhaps complicit in its own betrayal
it all depends what meaning’s meant
I have in mind an old portrayal
when virtue was considered moral
what leeches needles little green pill
will pull the crazy notions from the soul
and prove that thinking is our only tool
and that the first healthy thought
must be awareness of our own
crying need for intervention
