This I swear, even if I have to bid bye!: A poem 

Though I am prone to soliloquy 

I know I have no option, but live in such  

laughing parody. This paradise is only 

an arm’s length between me and I. 

But should I think my thoughts and words 

are in a slipstream permeating through  

my walls into the world yonder, and heard 

eagerly by everyone. Should I say I have enough  

evidence of it. Of course, I am even punished and tortured  

for my honesty, should I prefer to retaliate?! 

Is it more cumbersome to start a war 

or suffer in silence? You could all answer for 

yourselves and your hypocrisy. That I also have  

a parapraxis of accidental perjury. But am I to blame 

when evil tries to capitalise on me? And should it  

swear by lying about its pari passu?! As if I have any doubts 

about the hypocrisy in all the lies that prevail! 

Do you think that I am living to forgo my dignity 

after all the eternal sacrifice and suffering,  

in resistance, defiance and bravery, 

just to please your profane liberties. I swear! 

And this swearing is my writ! Even if you all should  

put me to death for this swearing! That I will never please 

any of you, who want me to forgive the ones 

that don’t deserve to be forgiven!

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
