For thirty years, I did not write…: A poem 

For thirty years, I did not write 

Do you understand my straitjacketed plight? 

It was not because of fright 

But because Prakash hijacked everything in my sight 

I had to be King of Death, and forget passion 

I still have abandoned every aspiration 

There were many promises; but I didn’t take gifts 

For, Prakash would steal them with his shift(y) 

O Mum, from Andromeda, come to me! 

O Dad, from Ganymede, come to me! 

See! I am losing strength and valour! 

It is only my sense of duty that is giving me colour 

How did I cop punishment for no crime of mine?! 

How did I suffer unbearable suffering all the time?! 

But I did it for all the love I felt 

For all the loyalty to which I knelt

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.
