CRAIGLOCKHART HOSPITAL

Because only sane men

can be send to die,

the broken minds

must be made whole

for death to claim.

From their sheltering madness

they must be saved,

so that in the trenches of the

twisted land of razor-wire

they will know the horror
enclosing; so that when the

shelling ends and

the whistle rangs

they will know that

their death awaits.

That is our duty -

to heal a broken mind

for the body to

reach its destiny,

a bullet or a shell to crush,

mangled to the mud to sink.
