Call me `Ours’ or `nous’, if you like!: A poem

I recently warned a new friend, that I am often

point blank! What is being point blank?! Is it an

opinion or verbal attitudinal onslaught that asks for a radical

 revisional shift in the recipient’s repertoire, demanding

a change of focus; an oblique arrow when things are getting

too straight for my liking, and obtuse! I am just a charged up

non-violent satyagrahi who just wants to implicitly take

care of people’s spiritual health, if you can call me a maverick

for disregarding the material at my own risk! Do you think

I love being traumatised, tormented, waylaid for my belief systems?

I didn’t make any claims besides wanting to make others perceive

their illusions of me in rectitude! Ask Jesus, if his calling himself

so glibly that `I am the one!’ was an exercise in insanity?!!

You know, in the beginning, they called Uranus a star! Herschel,

would you wake up to liken (disconcertingly?) a planet to an English King! Sorry,

star or no star (!), Uranus is not even the largest planet in the Solar

System (!); but does it have a very large, humongous soul?!!!

Ouranos is not averse to pain; but he is certainly not the Fisher King –

wounded in the thighs, or was it his genitals? Was he unceremoniously castrated (?);

that his land ceased to be fecund. And how am I to be metaphorically

castrated, for failing my line of continuity? Have I eternally failed?

I do not cry tears, not even over the sex I never had! I imagine we must

only become liquid to be distilled in the alchemical process; otherwise we must

remain solid or emit a blazing fire! They think I can be disillusioned by defeat and

destruction; they think I can be called ludicrous or made languid for my

belief systems that don’t appeal to people in power and who want their

impositions on me to bestill me even in my patient, restrained satyagraha. I used

all the existential  patience, restraint, sublimity, humility, I could muster! They used bullying, torment,

intimidation, threat! Am I to be called diversionist, when I am not inclined to subvert one

for the other, but to protect myself and those who deserve to be, and defend my integral

core spirituality against marauders? Did Ouranos see his violent mutilation coming? Did James the Just

 see his stoning in the morrow? Did Jacques du Molay see his burning at the stake in the offing? Mars

is not too distant perceptibly! How did Mars lose its atmosphere, if you can’t even conjecture

with all the false indicators? I am not going to tell you a very long story just now!

Not because of the fear that you will all call me insane, and subject me to a comatose

of antipsychotic drugs, incarceration and treatment orders at the mercy of illegitimate shrinks,

but because you will all deliberately (for your convenience) never believe me anyway! I am not discouraged or afraid of, and by, anything,

anyway!!!!! I have dared subjectively; not to recklessly dare the stonewalls of destiny meant for me!

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.
