I am sworn to keep burning….: A poem

I am not just a vapour exhaled by the earth

to die in the ephemerality of a moment(!);

I am so old, I could have died with age

and antiquity; but I kept burning, like

a child who musters evergreen timelessness

such that he can forget his name and years,

decades and centuries, but never forget

his cause! This onslaught of evil for perpetuity

cannot deliver the obsoleteness of purpose

even if posterity wills to forget it. You all

never gave me riband for my sacrifice, but

intimidation for my honest valour! Did you

all pretend you wanted to break my spine,

turn me into a fallen leaf to be swept aside

by a careless wind for your own convenience

and leverage?. If I would deign to abrogate with hopelessness

my lonely shields and drop my sword that would

become too hot to handle? I have, in fact, self-anointed

in the face of my Goddess, priestess and princess fearing

to nomenclate my Godhood for being put under duress

and threat; even if my Olympus Mons were to be violate

and be laid bare, and its replica Mount Olympus, that

I portended in place would cease to be the abode

of my offspring! You should see even the Universe

would take a step back and raise an arm and bow in

salutation of my courage. Do I need Trump or anybody else

who seek their own equilibrium so as to disadvantage my

intrepidity (I do not altogether blame Trump, though) and waylay

 my innocent bravery? I have not become euphemistic, I have

not abandoned my sacred scurrility because I fear anybody’s

reprehensible retaliation (?!), or punitive action in  calling it a profanity;

I am just feeling misfortuned by the betrayal by friends amidst

the overwhelming and utter chicanery and villainy of enemies! I am

sworn to keep burning even if the entire Universe was snatched out of God’s hands!!!!

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