Rehabilitate the lunatics
There's a narrow gutter behind our apartment building and every night when it's pitch-dark a mad man appears in the gutter and he stays there till dawn. He makes weird noises by hitting on the walls with his hands. Most of the times he wears noting except a scanty piece of cloth across his waist. Sometimes I've seen him retiring from the gutter on the early hours of morning after passing a lonely night in the darkness and obscurity. He has dirty, rough hair and unshaved beard of thousand days on his face. He makes nonstop hitting sounds and local people say he does that in order to get rid of the ants that interrupt him continuously. I guess the ants rather live in his mind. The loon's eyes are full of deep-rooted disturbance and something bizarre is visible there, which is indescribable in words. He comes to the gutter no matter how the weather is, we get the crazy sound of hitting the walls even in the heavy rain and during bitter winter when it's unimaginable for a human being to pass a night in the cold, wet drain. There are thousands of mentally ill men and women in the city who roam on the streets and live an utterly inhuman life. Sometimes they also can get hazardous for the people around them.
The government should take the necessary steps to rehabilitate these mentally disordered men in lunatic asylums where they could get psychological treatment and a better life. Or else it's also possible that some day these promptly increasing mentally sick men will demand entry to the parliament house to demonstrate for their human rights, which all of them deserve as the members of the species known as 'the greatest creation of God'.
