There is none like the mountain that
knows the place it stands on. None like
the fortress that understands its own defences
and protection mechanism. And there is none
like the road of antiquity that finds relevance
in every age. I am ambient in the shadows I
cast as I know their peripheries and outlines
– sometimes one, sometimes four, sometimes unseen
depending on the light thrown at me. But
these cannot be separated away from me like
cardboard cuttings. People have a right to
make judgements (albeit in their own narrow
or broad perspectives) but my prerogative
should legitimately be a duty to myself, and a recognition of
the cavalcade of my priorities, so much as I
have always submitted myself to the cause of undying
sacrifice for others! I am not glacially drifting or a
river that can be dammed. I am a unique-coloured
sky, that only you perceive as changing colour
according to your subjectivity to light. I am just brilliant
in my own self-powered luminescence, not needing
another’s mirror to pursue my own recognition of myself!
I don’t need anybody’s comprehension of me to
tell me who I am, or what I ought and ought not to do!
The sacred place is sublime in its divinity, but the icon is
wary of being adulterated by unsafe hands. I don’t need
idolisation, as I am my own hero; and never in my entire
life of pain of sacrifice, did I ever consider seeking anybody else’s
approval or acknowledgement for the immense sacrifice I undertook!!!
You all who think you can infringe on me or impose on me
must come to terms with the fact that I will never compromise
on my convictions and belief systems no matter the external pressure!!!!
None can be a catchpole to me, for I don’t owe anybody anything!!!!
