Guilt And Shame
GUILT AND SHAME
No one is judging
You imagined the whole think
And you are the judge
Polling Day
POLLING DAY
You always did your best
From your own point of view
And who am I to judge
Beyond my point of view?

Someone once
(pontificating)
Announced that all my poems
Were merely songs
But then
She was ridden by demons so I
(mostly)
forgave her
Observations
OBSERVATIONS
No me to be right
Likewise no me to be wrong
What we encounter
Is what we see it to be
The observer no less so

“The world is an illusion; it has no real existence. And this is what is meant by ‘imagination’ (khayāl). For you just imagine that it (i.e. the world) is an autonomous reality quite different from and independent of the Absolute Reality, while in truth it is nothing of the sort. Know that you yourself are an imagination. And everything that you perceive and say to yourself, ‘this is not me’ is also an imagination. So that the whole world of existence is imagination within imagination.”
– Ibn Arabi.
Making A Difference
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
If you must differentiate
Try to do so horizontally
Rather than vertically
Oh God!
OH GOD!
On the one hand – God
On the other – Religion
While in the between
Lie didactic certainty
And much misunderstanding
A Judgement On Judgement
A JUDGEMENT ON JUDGEMENT
What shall we make of our life?
A worldwide sightseeing tour
Or else a fault-finding mission?
For we shall never find a fault
Beyond those t’was we defined?

UNYEARNING
Seeing, listening
The rest is superfluous
Seeing, listening
Imaginary judges
Responsible for them all
