If I am constantly humiliated…: A poem

I seek all the words that gave me life

through the passages of time, the

names I loved, and the ones I struggled with!

If you think my deepest secrets are only conjecture,

only fantasy, only hallucination…And a convoluted system

thinks that my self-expression is a crime! I have

not eaten apples from other people’s orchards,

Infact, all of mine were stolen from me. And I did, with patience,

restraint, sublimity and humility, sought no recompense!

We are living in an Age that has made the illegitimate

legitimate; and the legitimate illegitimate. And the truths I speak

are golden lettered because their honesty abases the wicked,

even if they have no conscience, but to shamelessly effect

an immoral retribution for me. Hey Angus Taylor, the next time

you compel that depo on me, let me tell you how you

disrespect my self-esteem and humiliate me! Lest your selfish motives

cause me to make enemies of friends, and friends of enemies and bring about

your destruction! You must know that, ultimately, it is my right

to myself and my self-preservation that ought to be the most important thing to me…

as much as I am constantly sacrificing for others that deserve the benefits of my sacrifice!

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