Conversation with Time about the forbidden fruitA Poem by Matome MasipaThe fictional world of Joshua Daniels: verse one to the End
Hello time,
I know you know my true name because you where there, long ago before ‘my time’
began. And subconsciously
like money, stress, I think of you. I hope that
you are listening; I hope that
you can understand why, I would
question one of the essences of the universe. But I am
seeker A seeker of
the truth, Adam understands
cause my origin begins with him, cursed for knowing God’s forbidden truth. The seed doesn’t
fall far from the tree, If that is
not true; then wise men and kings tell us all lies, if we watch what hierarchy and monarchy has
done to the people. A
conversation with time about what I saw today. Lord help me. If am slave then
show me way to free Spiritually
and physically.
What is the
truth? Where is
truth? Show me the
proof; If proof,
is what gets a man get judged in the courts. By the
judge, the prosecutor, the defense Attorney, the jury, the cops, the witnesses and the people.
Sometimes
truth can be bought if you put enough gold coins in the hands of a family
serving man with debts. Sometimes truth
with proof disappears.
And an
innocent man goes to a cell. Trapped for
years with Murders. Would he
change, or remain the same way. Hoping one
day he walks away like the butterflies out the fence of the prison yard, slowly
kissing nectar on flowers, Almost like when your life is on the greener
grass.
Life is a
dream, do not turn a blind eye. Your mind
is slipping into an inception and you can’t even see. Turn on the
TV and tell me what you see. Refugees see
the wars, the innocent see the corruption, I see the
mockery of society- In the politics, The economics, The shroud amendments. That make wars, and leave fleeing refugees
drowning in the oceans. That not
just not a movie about Women and children. That’s a
real thing. A sad
thing. Or have you
watched too much movies your mind is suddenly momentarily saddened with the
whole process. The tax man
and the debts keep you occupied and too busy he next morning, working to put
blood diamonds on your soulmates finger and drive fancy cars. A late
night under the night sky, with drinks in the air; A Toast for
hard earned success.
No one can
blame you. Success
after all, can also be relative, depending on where you came and how far you
want to reach. The little
truth and imagination. Though only
few in a billion are as wealthy as the kings who rule this world and us behind
the scenes. Like a chess
player always does, with his pawns, when playing chess. You a
bishop, a king, a queen, a knight or a pawn, it doesn’t matter if you leave in
castle, there is always someone in charge, your land
is on someone’s land. And on any
man’s land, the laws must be followed. So, we
follow, while brighter and sunny days turn hollow. Melting the
ice at the edges of the world.
But that’s the
laws of the wise men. If that is
not true; then men’s
wise men and kings tell us all lies, if we
really watch what hierarchy and monarchy has done to the people. So, time; don’t tick fast because I saw the
truth too late. But because I don’t have proof I guess am being Bobby Fischer. Or Am just
a man trapped in his mind possessed by whispers as he sleeps. But so is
whoever reading this. So is whoever
chasing a goal.
We both
call it, a dream.
Am I wrong
for asking you Time? To spare me some time. That I can
have peace of mind before I am too old, and want to die from this world. With everyone
that I care about and the people out there, that I do not know. Living in
harmony and being happy.
The watch
on wrist is not turning any slower. It’s like a
wheel rolling down a hill. I get hypnotized from just staring.
I get a
headache; instead of water and some sleep, I take a pill. Numbing my
mind, cause that’s the drug of the wise men’s law. Before my
eyes fall heavy, I reach out to these thoughts in the darkness behind my
eyelids.
Hello time,
you seem silent, what’s the matter? can’t you hear me? Am on my
knees and I open a bible with words that are timeless. But over
the years they have been tempered with.
If the
world doesn’t see eye to eye. And the
religions breed segregation. With the
Gods, and the fear of the truth, as we tithe for the lies. Why can men
with guns and missile fly to other lands, but the deli lama cannot fly
everywhere, if all he talks about is peace. Are the
spells of love and hope such a bad thing? Aren’t all
religions aiming for the same thing. That’s the
laws of the wise men, They seem
to have time and immortality. Because their
ways have claimed our minds.
So, Time;
please tell the Universe to tell the Creator. I want to
be a wise man.
I want to
shape my world and maybe make it flat, maybe be like a chess player, play my
life on my own terms and time.
Because all
the struggle, all the pain, all the hardships, all these borders across these
countries that decide if can stay or remain. make me feel like I am a slave. My
conversation with You about the forbidden fruit of men. Show me a way to be free, Spiritually
and physically.
Now you know what I saw today. © 2017 Matome Masipa |
