You can see dignity is when you hold your own
against the visages and facades of selfishness,
ruthlessness and corruption. You can wallow
in muddy waters, never realising that purity is deformed
by the illusion of compatibility. Because you can’t see
your reflection in muddy waters. Compassion is not
a doormat that can be stomped upon, yet obtained
by captors. And forgiveness of treachery doesn’t acquire
the magnanimity of stars. Cannibalism is in the evil that
murders and eats up your soul. I walk into the street
where some ignore me and some smile at me. I walk
into the shops where someone calls me darling.
Can you fathom that love and hate is as simple as that?
We are not all cut from the same cloth, though blood
runs in all of us. Homogeneity is a deception that we have
been led to believe. What is truth is in the Babel, not in the
common inheritance from Adam and Eve. Love can only be
honest. Our history may have been war, but is a testament to that.
Jesus may have said forgive your enemies for the crimes
they committed against you. But God didn’t edict that!
Christmas is a lie about Santa and the nativity of love!
Did it bring about the smudging of lines between nations?!
Religion is outsourced from beyond earthly comprehensions
It is simply not manmade. And there is a devious fallacy in some!
If you condone injustice, it becomes the sticky stains
on your walls for all posterity. Even rage can be forgotten,
but not hypocrisy. We can never have a misbegotten Utopia.
A Paradise of peace can’t be built on the faeces of evil.
