SELF-TRIALED UNAWARNESS: 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,
I and I:-

(Thus be the entanglement of love of mind and heart)

Am I forced to take the fifth, lest I 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 the shelves of my heart:-

(In self-trial: The mind, the jury; Awareness, the loving judge)
