Announcing September's Award!! - Poetry Prize awarded to Lisa Bell
"Rights Free Peak Body"
Civil liberty freedoms
Express rights
Rights ought to be
Right and even feel a bit right
Metal health rights
Have come a long way
And have
A long way to travel
Rights
And freedoms
Cost
Don’t be had!
Rights are
Made to cherish
Cherish
Freedoms too. Don’t complain too much
The freedom to
Pick up a pencil
Depends on how many there are
And who
Freedoms
Rights
Liberties and hopes, dreams
mean something in mental health
Mental health
Has an air of health about it
Balanced rational and intuitive
Intelligent and investigatory
Rights
Are
Right
So.
Practice
Them
Practice
Makes perfect
Love is
A freedom
With
Wings. Om! Ta for listening! Lisa Bell
