How dilettante I am in the roughage of thoughts and beliefs!: A poem 

I felt a long train of thought chug through my mind, 

taking the deep-rooted rails of my convictions places. 

Did I feel like a fabric slipping under the needle of a  

sewing machine? Or like a rag that no longer serves  

to be used as a cleaning cloth, having gone so dirty? 

Or did I feel so dilettante that a freshness spoke  

throug my eyes? Am I a flame that warms but to leave 

behind embers and char? Is all the mess created? Is all  

the mayhem through a hidden hand? And yet, where 

do we find a fixed place after all? In a dimension that we 

probably worked our way through life, unawaresly seeking? 

Where do we fit? I remember a priest named Zachary who 

threw me out of the boys’ choir, because he simply  

disliked me? So, was I a better fit for not being wanted. 

Humility is like the chieftain who gives his tribe happiness. 

How some people are naturally humble and sublime; and  

some people think they can carve out destiny for themselves?! Do  

those who make the laws wonder about those who are subject to  

them? The risibility and paradox of existence is: How did God make  

Himself subject to whosoever’s mandamus?  Is there humour  

after all, in the overlying tragedy! I can say whatever be the outcome,  

you win if you never let down the chastity belt of your scruples  

to the overwhelming evil! Is the agony of defeat only in the way you  

perceive defeat? And is the triumph of victory in the way how you are 

able to be generous with it? Should you be certain whom to forgive and whom not to!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
