I am not fooled by the oasis yonder: A poem 

Can you see the oasis yonder is just a bloody deathtrap? 

I walk, keeping my weeping armour, in the desert’s lap 

Why didn’t they build any freeways, for me that, I ask, I could tap 

The only road out of here is someone else’s treacherous map 

I turned the zodiac over and over again, never figuring how time goes 

And if it spins all over my fours; on it, I didn’t shut my doors 

You know, his infernal treachery has always been my woes 

I have loved and abandoned love for the sake of love, that me, God, knows 

Did he cast a shuttering block on my creative and everlasting spirit 

Did he snatch my loyalties from me, to foil my determined grit 

What does your Christian saint fit, who trades his evil paint, 

in desperation to be everything else, but acknowledge his taint 

Even though my strength is little and health is brittle, 

there is my duty not to let evil on my soul and vulnerable souls settle 

I may tell you all that you should never let greed make you whistle 

him in, he who hijacks everything that’s not his, with his soulless brush and bristle

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.
