Campaign Message
 
We can only perceive what goes on in the minds of a person suffering from a mental health illness. A breakdown of their internal mechanism to be in control of their mental faculties. A failure of countless efforts to fight that persistent pressure or challenge has led to what they hear as “voices”. They don’t need our additional humiliation. Pity them. Help them if you can. They can be helped.   
 
 
From nowhere they enter his mind
like radio waves to a transistor
Voices his ears can only hear and none other
Voices he cannot tune or switch off
but listen even if against his will
 
Quiet he can only keep
Contemplating what is being said
Fighting hard not to listen
The conflict and competition with his own thoughts
In order to gain control
