About my life, my eternity: A poem

Seen a swallow swallow up the sky!

And the sparrow think it can talk tomorrow!

Do you think buccaneers are better than profiteers?

Do you think I’d be mercenary, in my God-like demeanour?

You know they stole all from me! Even that didn’t cause me horror!

Just in case, I tell you, I dreamed of my girl and she was born near!

For who I was prepared to forsake everything, everything I held dear!

And you throw up a coin today, and fancy what should be its facing face?!

Then, suddenly, I think all this greed is lacking grace!

Do you think taking sides is important when compared to honey and dew?

I wouldn’t even take the plane to America, if I were promised all by the rich and mighty you know who?

So, I am listening to all that clamour of how my life is a waste!

The sun can burn in a hurry and the sea can turn to paste!

I am in no worry even with the pain and non-attainment; me and my girl are chaste!

And I shall never bury the hatchet with those who deserve disgrace!

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