Love can’t be pretentious, please practise what you preach!: A poem

Would I be called a heathen legion were I

to evangelicise the attributes of duty to justice

before the imperative of love. That we ought to

be embellished by truths rather than  be of

nature seeking convenience and avoiding  hardship.

If you believe in virtue, not in the slightest deign!…

Even if there is a cornucopia of the material available in

the fiefdom of the corrupt. The hardest thing

to do in the propaganda of falsehoods is to

believe in yourself. And ignorance can be a

folly, if intuition or instinct doesn’t then make all

the difference from evading spiritual pitfalls.

The fortune of undertaking a sacrifice is to be

endowed by a Phoenix’s spirit eternally. Intelligence

is not in being worldly-wise but in being self-aware! Yet,

dying in life, does not mean we can’t be evocative of little

beautiful moments to cherish. It depends on what one

explores as endearing. I am only a motion flowing

through the motivity of aspiration, if aspiration can

be abstract perfection rather than corporeal

reality. Do we forgive our enemies if we haven’t healed

from the wounds inflicted on us by them? A religion preaches

love and forgivance in the inimical historicity of its own crimes.

If everyone lives solely by convenience, aren’t we a civilisation of

hypocrites? Gemini is a symbol of love but it has two faces – the

face of love and the face of being cruel to be kind for love.

Forgiveness is only preached to the vulnerable from the pulpits

so that they subserve their dignity; why aren’t the powerful, then,

asked to be forgiving? Or is forgiveness then just a medium of convenient

matrimonial? And how come I have been so subject to the cruelty

of my detractors, when I committed no crime? Or was kindness no

part of their repertoire of duty? Who are the humble, merciful? And

who are the humble, contrite?, Do we forgive  the ones who seek convenient

pardon when their time is up? And shouldn’t the victims of unjustified

abuse have the ultimate suffrage? So, let me direct the powers that be to

use the wonderment of justifiability in all their acts and deeds. We must all

do our duty, but forgiveness must not be made a compulsion, even in

humility. Clemency must be earned not granted. Even in its piquancy, let

this poem be an epiphany to all those ostentatious preachers who

never care to practice what they preach!!!!

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.
