Does treachery have a guilt trip?: A poem 

I am talking to myself and my walls 

as I feel reverberated with gumption 

that has no definition; but just happens 

like a breeze that becomes fecund 

like a premature bloom that challenges 

the regularity of nature’s patterns 

like an extempore who discovers 

his outspokenness suddenly 

but has no listeners. 

But am I to blame for the snub 

of the nature of men 

whose decadence gives them 

their only sense of belonging, 

of longing. I may be nonsense 

but, I think, even my conjecture 

makes your achievements trivial 

I know this societal garb is but garbage 

that collects in landfills of today 

to nuisance posterity as an insult to it. 

I feel disheartened to say, that my wisdom 

is mildewing by age, in an age that 

provides it with undeserved oblivion 

I do not understand how evil 

has foraged the savannahs of virtue  

stranding me in justice’s aborted trip 

As his treacherous conscience has no guilt trip!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
