Be gone! I should damn the treachery for eternity!: A poem 

Should I feel apathetic to sunrise or sunset 

like I knew a pretension from an adversary 

before it struck me like a dagger; I don’t 

see any victory in falling to pitfalls, but I 

have risen from every grave! You think, 

I didn’t know myself like you all do 

waiting for a messiah, who is your defrauded 

hope, knowledge and wisdom. That subsequent light  

of the Church, who changed his name, and spread the lies,  

has lived an eternity in rapine; with no shadow of remorse 

Did such love preclude your wars? Or you were hastily 

defeating God and his prophets, because they seemed lost and vulnerable? 

And I am compelled to choose between fish and moon 

because the evil warden of my prison wants to set his teeth 

into everything else. I certainly have love, but can’t love to be loved! 

So let Mohammad take cudgels with your cross  

You can have it all misbegotten and mistaken 

I am just secretly beginning to believe that I can’t 

take away emotions of the ignorant for the treacherous 

that feeds you; and sublimates my love  

and loyalties to every corner I wish not 

to anoint. And what about my convictions  

snubbed by non-believers, foraged by criminals 

Integrity is flawless but it is subject 

to a blatant deviousness. You all don’t see 

that murderers have taken the pillars of  

your temples.  And, in turn, have agonisingly  

inflicted mine, so I must abandon them in disgust! 

I am alone, transfixed in a motley ruse, because 

ignorance reigns among you. And I am a grandmaster 

who must sacrifice his chess-pieces, and so often be reckless 

in his blindfolds. And what should I make of  

the stealthy whores (evil men) trying to consummate me

through morphing into the identities of the ones I love

I didn’t even intend all this sodomous liaison to materialise 

even as a one-night stand. The trespassers have a calculation 

to feed on my sperm so that the future is lost to me! 

And my intrepidity be a dead embryo in their wombs!  

I only want bedpartners I love; Fuck off vultures! 

My soul is no cadaver in your unethical desert! 

I really want to get you all off my hands!  

Be gone! Be gone! Be gone! Begone! Be gone! 

I’d rather be vacuous, than have to ingest poison 

through every pore and orifice of my soul!

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