Black and white: A poem 

There is no colour like black and white 

It is always grey, even on a pitch-dark night 

They are searching for bosons and quarks 

And God’s elusive particle, the initial spark 

Though Darwin has us all under his arm 

But palpably still, God holds his charm 

Yet, there’s fury out of belief and not calm 

God is no relief; divisive metal in the palm 

Blunt tepid moons for pacifistic somnambulists 

Religion was coercion for long like a slap on wrists 

It is still a weapon and there’s death in its bullet  

Sadly, its vast ocean can never be refuge’s inlet 

Love is hanging, hate is banging; black is not white 

Bad blood is too common, misdirected is the fight 

Do we wonder if greed is grey, what about hunger? 

Yet, all we need is an electrician and a plumber

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
