Me, Virgo, Monte Cyril Rodrigues!: A poem 

I was born on the 8th of September 1964; 

under the sign of Virgo, but I was actually 

premature, at six-and-a-half months, so if 

I had wombed for the entire gestation; I’d 

have been born a Scorpio-Sagittarius cuspian! 

I am neither averse to any of the three signs, 

I just wonder if Mercury still rules me, then! 

Because at the time of my birth Mercury was 

in retrograde as my birth-planet. So, I must tell 

you, that on this astrological premise, I have excellent 

communication skills that haven’t been put to professionally conducive use! 

My name is Monte Cyril Rodrigues. Let’s say Monte 

has nothing to do with the moon. It is merely `mon’ 

or `mine’. While I am clairvoyant, I have no fondness for 

Psyche, though! I never considered Psychology a valid or profound  

subject; I am spiritual. I prefer Jung to Freud! Cyril, my 

second name, has nothing to do with sea, but calling it sight is  

fine as I am perspicacious, though I have only one good eye 

and I am both short- and long-sighted! Rodrigues is more of a name  

that was given to us by the Portuguese priest who  

Illegitimately converted my ancestors (from Goa). We 

were surnamed Borkar before our unfortunate conversion 

to a religion I despise as a wicked curse upon humanity! 

Don’t pretend none of you know about the Church’s historic crimes!  

The Borkars got their Hindu name from their being artificers  

of gold and precious metals by profession. I write(!), love  

to write! It is a talent that I had to neglect for a large part of 

my life, due to unavoidable evil circumstances and people that 

besieged me, when I was in my early thirties. And I began to 

sense my talents were being hijacked! But here I go writing 

again(!): Even though I’d like to be hidden, unread, and 

undetectable to many unwelcome readers of my blogsite. Just like I’d 

like to be hidden, and unlocatable to many scoundrels that  

waylay and guerilla me in my daily life, keen to ruffle me!  

To those scoundrels who want to prove that I am insane and confine me 

in the bargain, I say: Pursue what you are doing at your own risk! 

I have been very patient, sublime and restrained. Don’t underestimate 

my humility!!! There is more havoc and destruction I can wreak, 

before you even can think about it or have knowledge of its source!!!!!

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.
