I feel oldest and worthy of the newest!: A poem 

I feel like a loner, even when I imagine 

the entire universe sitting beside me 

Like I’ve fondled a memory and brought it to life 

I know magic works regardless of what you decide 

You know that a pain is forgotten even if it lies in your bed 

An aftermath when you feel secluded by immaculate divinity in your head 

Who is worth your salt? Does it dissolve 

in an impregnability left by the choice that you wed? 

You know it’s not all your making, but there is onus in being God and King 

Just that you shed no shadows in believing 

in the ritual of sacrifice in plainclothes, every now and again! 

And are you the worthiest for suffering all that pain?! 

I am supercharged by being in charge, I don’t suppose there is randomness 

in obvious tasks, that are repeated through the ages 

You can’t bely the dignity of selflessness and sacrifice 

Though to many it may look as if it is your vice 

God knows the narrative of history, and lost victory 

But there’s triumph because this existence is honorary 

And they can pulverise the truth and kick it with the boot 

It will only resound and echo like an owl’s hoot 

And yes, God did blow the smoke on his lungs to fill them with soot 

Was it because of Saint Paul’s disgusting morphing, with his eye on the loot? 

That you all know and should rather choose 

The bellwether that is oldest, and still worthy of all the news

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