The Gulag (Revisited)

The Gulag (Will Not Wait) by Al Wiggins Jr

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.

Then she chose the 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 slander 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 eyes.
She didn't want to face
the victim of her lies.

With an imaginary psychosis
I'll never understand,
and a fraudulent diagnosis,
she committed and 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 reported me to the campus police
but didn't know what she was talking about.

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

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.

Because I got no accomodations
and I got no advocacy
from Counseling Center personnel
after the ambush at the library.

I only needed two classes
in order to graduate
but the ordeal left me disabled for life
so I'm setting the record straight.
