Mental illness is much more a problem today
Than it was in the past, and it seems here to stay;
The age range has steadily lowered until
Even young children now start to feel ill;
The reason might be we’re now much more controlled
Than was the case for most people of old,
When families were left to get on with their lives
Unhampered by time-wasting new government drives’
Form-filling, paperwork, endless demands
Pass almost daily through citizens’ hands,
As officials ensure that they cannot but know
Big brother is watching wherever they go;
Things might improve if the government spied less,
For all this surveillance increases their stress,
And stress is
well-known to affect mental health,
Quite unrelated to level of wealth.
