Don’t just blindly judge; the overlying proof may not be the evidence!: A poem 

There could have been askance, there could have 

been speculation, there could have been circumspection… 

But the personal functionality of a hero is in good faith 

Like despite falling into an enclosure, I still thought 

I had the key; there was hope in the captivity… 

Like to be free is only a perception. For, if you have 

a soul that can fly what is the consternation and fear of gravity 

Circumstances and powers of control are mighty, but can they  

outmaneuver dignity, integrity, and intrepidity. Sometimes, 

I soundboard my misgivings in the lines of free verse. 

You’d think somebody is listening! Who’d think we  

atrophy due to somebody else’s criminality? I’d think 

a pretentious enemy of an enemy is still one’s enemy! 

Talk of clandestine bedfellows! I ask the powers that be 

on whom falls the blade of judgement; if you are only handicapped 

by an all-pervasive treachery? If the suspected but blatant villains can’t  

be taken to task why punish the victims? Is it because the world loves 

its hypocrisy. I am not impervious, but I am solid. You may all 

think I am like thin bass relief unable to project my structure 

and form to be heard and felt. I should let you all know, that even the  

blind read with brailles. So how come you can’t even fathom that even my 

low relief has so much more to say and should, thus, be omnipresently heard?!  

Or is it just convenient to have the shutterbugs focus on the victim  

and have the picture of convenient blame be unjustly framed!

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.
