POETRY - PHILOSOPICAL


Pearls to Swine

‘Lest they turn & end thee’, is to stand true in the gutter
And be besmirched, without recourse or redress, unless one is prepared,
In street posture & group male instinct, behavioural psychology.
To sit teetotal in a local waterhole, is to be the recipient of, mirror reverse psychology assertiveness.
To be an enlightened reformed smoker, is to mouth unpalatable remedial bullshit.
To express echoes of concentric dialectics in tea-break, in concise philosophical rhetoric,
Is to invite inverted snobbery, vociferous in cultureless condemnation.
To teach ill prepared students, is to invite reactionary negativity.
To publicly espouse abstruse esoterica, is to court fire & ridicule.
To exhibit fresh & efficacious techniques, at an Expo of New Age Esoterica,
Reveals antagonistic motives, ill-suited & inappropriate to their ideals.
To publicise oneself freely, as a teaching exponent of healing & meditation,
Is to expose oneself to darkness & attack, a test of metal & purity.
