All is cruel: A poem 

All is cruel. Love is only 

a delicate gossamer hanging from your skin. 

You wear it too thin. Your own innocence can kill 

Willful knowledge is sin. The jihadists against 

truth and justice have your aspirations kissed 

Their plans for you are calumny against God 

You don’t think it’s odd, believing in false Lords 

You romance with the glamour that has no spiritual 

glitter. You clamour in the clutter of subterfuge 

There is a gutter for veracity deluged by the water 

of hypocrisy. You are prizing this disaster of democracy. 

Counting your litter of make-believe rights 

Your illusions are all borrowed dreams 

floating downstream, in the multitude that teems 

in such cruelty. Not in the least bit asking why 

you want to be trapped between the spider and the fly!

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.
