All about this world’s existentialism!: A poem 

I see the world like a forlorn tree at my window; 

and I think I shouldn’t wander toward it to pick 

its fruit. I live battered by a battery of aspirations 

and refusing to clothe myself in them. The world  

charge sheeted me before for my hesitation and alleged  

travesty, I didn’t defend my case with explanations. You keep 

blaming me over again! I am not an avowed contrarian, it is self-preservation, 

and as much as preservation of you all that matters to me; if you can all see 

despite your occluded glass greed-beady eyes. And there is division 

outside my window, and there is war, and I am not least bit perturbed 

by it. I am not going to wander to the brook that runs to the sea! 

I don’t want to quench my hunger or thirst beside it, even if you 

all demonise me and incarcerate me for my abstinence. I have loved too much, 

with all the patience in me. Not my fault if you all can’t  

see fair-square and want to punish me in order to retain all your misbegotten 

conveniences. You know, the world has always been at war(!), 

much before even the raptors walked and swam and flew! How did the Sun 

take all this agony! Even the solar system is a divided place! 

War marks every territory! Don’t plead with me, I am no  

Pacifist as yet, and I never got impressed by fake preachers. Love  

and light can’t be a condominium where you all wish to reside,  

but it can also never be your residence without me! I can say I 

witnessed my scourge for eternity, and that’s where I am 

coming from and happen to be; legitimately logically! Nobody wanted to gladly  

make sacrifices except for me! Ask me! Sometimes, I think 

an asteroid shower will get us and our brief misdirected civilisation, 

before the spaceships do!

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.
