Paradelle for the Mentally Ill

PARADELLE FOR THE MENTALLY ILL

The mentally ill are all around us.
The mentally ill are all around us --
On the streets, they ramble and scurry.
On the streets, they ramble and scurry.
They scurry and ramble all around us;
the mentally ill are on the streets.

Seeing a dimension invisible to you --
Seeing a dimension invisible to you,
They speak to spirits long departed,
They speak to spirits long departed.
Seeing a dimension long departed,
They speak to you and invisible spirits.

They were cast away from society,.
They were cast away from society;
I wonder if you even care.
I wonder if you even care.
I wonder. They even care if you were cast away from society.

You are the invisible mentally ill, all spirits from society.
Seeing us, they scurry and ramble around. I wonder if they even
care. They were cast away, and they speak on the streets to a long
departed dimension.
