The Gulag Will Not Wait

One day a school doctor lied on my name.
She didn't know me, but lied all the same.
First she profiled me by "race,"
with all the details neatly in place.

The quack chose to break the law
when she refused to examine me.
But she had to cover her tracks,
so she created an "emergency."

The doctor fooled the campus police
by portraying me as a threat
to the rest of the campus community
because I'm an Army vet.

She wanted to insure
the police put me in handcuffs.
So with profiles and stereotypes
the doctor set me up.
If you're going back to school
pay attention to this rhyme.
Your civil rights can be subverted
at any given time.
The location of this outrage
was Bridgewater State
and when the doctor made the call
The gulag would not wait.

Dr. Grace Siebert-Larke
wouldn't look me in the eye.
She didn't want to face
the victim of her lie.

With an imaginary psychosis
I'll never understand,
and a fraudulent diagnosis
she committed an innocent man.

The doctor said I would take money
from my student loans
to buy items to hurt people
I didn't even know.

Vilification and slander
came out of the doctor's mouth
when she lied to the Chief of Campus Police
but didn't know what she was talking about.

So if you plan to go back to school
pay attention to this rhyme.
Your civil rights can be subverted
at any given time.
The location of this outrage
was Bridgewater State
and when the doctor made the call
The gulag would not wait.

When I tried to follow up
her co-workers abused my trust.
When I remember how I was treated
I'm still filled with disgust.

Withholding information
must be one of the perks
for unethical individuals
engaged in social work.

I got no accommodations
and I got no advocacy
from Counseling Center personnel
after they ambushed me.

I only needed two classes
in order to graduate,
but the ordeal left me disabled
so I'm setting the record straight.
If you're going back to school
pay attention to this rhyme.
Your civil rights can be subverted
at any given time.
The location of this outrage
was Bridgewater State
where if the doctor makes the call
the gulag will not wait.
