I read a poem that advised me:
Be wise with your words, be kind!
Be generous! You know, easier
said than done. And if you want
to flay candour! That there is honesty
to resort to for the one who wants to
own officious bluntness! Or do you care
for the trifle blandness of banter that
suits everyone and goes no distance?!
Would you like to be the magnanimous
maverick who accepts the wisdom of
taking the onus of being called cruelly
selfish, when he is by all yardsticks
the kindest soul in the world? Who pauses
to perceive the perspicacity of this potentate
of tyrannical posturing (as he is calumnised
as such)?! Men who prefer to be hated for truth
rather than be loved for hypocrisy?! And you know,
today, the Occident is divided, as much as the Orient is!
Why are fences being put up and bigotry being
resurrected, if not to waylay the evil that wishes to stamp
itself on a preemptively Pacifist world, where justice
has failed? Righteousness must not be judged
if its treachery is meant to treason evil!
The media thinks it can judge and deliver
every kind of judgement through its thick-lensed
Impervious, occluded eyes?! If it would only
remember to get pricked by its own conscience!
The foolish charade is in the media that calls out
the Fool (wise persons’)’s parade! A war makes
more sense when it stumps the foray of evil!
We may let an Age fall, but are we going to let
ourselves fall to a New Age, which could be as bad?!
Or should we let our honesty and integrity take us
some place else?
