SELF-TRIALED UNAWARENESS: GUILTY
(Apropos Of Self-Reparation)
It has been said that we must love others
As we love ourselves; loving each other
As does the Author of love in loving us all:-
(Thus, be food for thought if hungry)
Dwelling in the court of the inner-sanctum
Of contemplation,
Sage mind of jurisprudence charged my poor soul
With abject neglect;
Not of cherished others, but of myself: collectively,
Me and I:-
(Thus be the entanglement of love of mind and heart)
Am I forced to take the fifth, lest I self incriminate myself;
Subjecting the heart to become a pawn to the mind’s jury?
For so long—innocently—I’ve been guilty of backward-love;
Self-love collecting filthy invisible dust on shelves of my heart:-
(In self-trial: The mind, the jury; Awareness, the loving judge)
