I just couldn’t be bothered with any unholy compromise!: A poem 

Would I want the sun floating in 

through the ventilators of my home? 

There are warmth and heat; like  

a street with two-pedestrian walks 

Sometimes the choice is left to conjecture 

and a little courage. I can say, I am a God with  

many reflections, but I don’t have a forked tongue 

You must know that the faces of another’s deception 

regulate my candour and mystify my will? 

Do you think I was masochist, skin picker and self-defeatist? 

I had to undergo so much pain because of  

a far too cruel Machiavellian plot. I may be 

God but I am not the tyrant. This drama is 

a Karma that unfolded out of an evil rapine. 

I just sometimes think I’m loathe to choose  

between the narrow choices imposed on me. 

I am not going to have Paradise with partaking 

in an evil, if it so long constrained me by causing me 

to abandon one fortress for another. This is a fraud on love! 

I know that my Masada should have no walls within itself! 

So would I call it a day, when it is night 

And let the moon fill my rooms with  

the smells of the aerosols of an unwelcome benefactor?  

Just because I do not want my sky to be a deep sea! 

I can choose to take the suicidal potion and be bereft of  

any territory, love or loyalty. Rather than being  

burnt at the stake of an unholy compromise!

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