I take a good look at my aching legs; and what about my angry soul?: A Poem

What would you say, if I told you that

the horses of my aspirations come trundling down

at me, where I am in an action to decorticate

before they hold me liable for their denial?

I am tempted to believe in Unicorns, even if

I am tethered in the sobriety of sensitive dispassion.

Was I ever wrong to believe in recklessness, to

establish my own decorousness, or was I, in sublimating like

a dying fire, crackling haplessly to a false decorum?!

Does this mean I am deposed? Or do I remain

discrete from the machinations to rein me in;

impervious of the manslaughter, and continue to

exercise my discretion? You must know, that a

wildhorse that is forcibly domesticated has the

ultimate destinative right, as a victim would over the villainous

victor on the 22nd day. You can also see the signs of failure

of civilisations if you are discerning, before they actually fall.

Lawmakers are often more short-sighted than an intelligentsia

that is silent in its astuteness, enabling destiny to be the only

Judgement Card. But I feel prone to exercise a right, even

if divinity wants to still me, because of the angst over subversion

versus usurpation, evil versus righteous . Am I tepid if I sit

in the backseat? Or am I graceful for restraint? Do I admit to

my decrepitude, and feel for my poor aching legs and knees

in their enervation? Or should I keep volleying across the court,

like an ever-angry soul? Do zebras ever tire in their unbound

untamed wildness?! And does destiny exercise its own ultimate righteousness?

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.
