Bethlehem hospital
Known as Bedlam
Sited in London
Hiding the insane
At least that’s how the story went
People who suffered
Disorders of the brain
Beaten many times
Right up until death
But changed their policies
To something else
Frontal lobotomies
Became all the rage
This is a tale of a very dark age
When mental health illness
Was understood in no way
And so people suffered at the hands
Of the truly mentally insane.
