Victim of Future

Her friends fear, loud and clear

Cautioned
I see a Heart shaped object with thy self
withering like a lizard, in pain
And it ill becomes a lady
of such rank as thou to touch
Such an object as that
Leave it and forget it
All beings have but only one destiny.

I shall not let it go

Between Me and God, She answered
Thieving I caught it
It's Owner tried to steal my heart
My love, my happiness, peace and future
for His personal gains
And the law concerning a thief
will I execute upon Him.
I will break this Heart
Burn it
Restore it back in his cold body still alive
and finally hang Him unto death.

A friend of the Lady's culprit

within ear shot
heard the Decree being passed by Faith of such culprit,
His friend rushed in panic
To plead mercy.
May God go with thee, Your Majesty
Be kind enough to accept
Greetings from this tramp -
Lest Your Majesty of such rank
as thou be seen
about that work,
a pound which which I got
as alms will I give thee
and let this unfortunate soul Go.
Heaven strike me dead if I tell lies
I shall give thee half of the alms
I collect henceforth each day
for 30 days, and Your Honor, in return
teach this dieing soul
to spend the remaining days
Without thy warmth
Thy love, without shelter of thy hairs
Without love in your eyes for Him.

I have All the Pounds and pennies I need

And, it is below My dignity to take
What you get as alms.
Impressed though I am by your concern
And true friendship.
This Heart is My catch, and not for sale
 or barter- besides you have nothing
To give in return which I don't already have.
May God be kind to you
for you have done your duty, Pray
let me do Justice now
And seek judicial redress of my grievance
against the reprehensible
Commissions and Omissions
Of this prisoner of mine,
Lest you be charged of being
Guilty of obstructing the judicial process,
For I am the Victim, I am the aggrieved,
I am the Complainant; And
I am the Judge who shall
Nurse Justice.

A Priest came towards Her from nowhere

Said Good day to thee, the Lord of Hearts
Governess of Fate
Queen of Future-
May God prosper thee, and
Blessings of God be upon thee
What kind of work art thou doing.

A creature of distant land

Spied on privacy while traveling
in garb of an endangered species
Like a rare Lizard
And has thieved from me,
and the doom of a thief will I execute upon Him
Said She.
My nears and Dears
Upon hearing evidence from indisputable sources
of his lowly being
Have warned Me, Your Holiness
The dangers of freeing this FUTURE HUNTER.

Be My confession to God, I will

Neither sell Him nor let him Go.

The Priest said

It is true
There is no price set upon Him
Lest thou be seen defiling thyself-
with that creature
I will give thee three pounds
And let Him go.
May He then die in peace.

Between Me and God, said She

I want no price for him
Save what is His due: To finally hang Him.

Gladly Your Majesty, do thy pleasure

Said Priest.
 She noosed a rope about his cold painful neck
And, lo, She could see
The Bishop himself
Of the Anglican Church
Making towards her.
May God be with thee Your Majesty
Beauty of beauties
Your lovely features engulfed
In heavenly aroma
Is it not a broken heart I see
In your hands, that you so hold by the fire.
Is it not this Heart
That contributed
In your retaining
this beatific aroma
That you've recently acquired.

Since I have come in

At the moment
Of this unfortunate destruction
Let it go
And thou shalt have the money
I will give thee Seven Pounds.

Feeling disturbed She said expressing displeasure

I will not let it go,
By My confession to God, for as much a gain.

Bishop Said
What wouldst thou then ?
That thou shalt have also - And
Let this creature go.
For I know you want a Future.
Money is not Future.
What is it then. Pray tell me, Your Majesty.
Having failed to convince her
The Bishop requested fellow Archbishop
To make an attempt, And
Save a true Lover's Life.

Archbishop reasoned:
Why doth thou wisheth
To weave the complex web
from which there shall be no easy oust.

Leave nature to do it's own justice

It has done so in thy life earlier
However unbeknown to you.

Pray do not take it unto yourself

To weigh the scales of justice
Leave that to your Self.
 By punishing so
Who doth thou injure
Who be the injured
Bear the consequences thou must
Making thou a victim of the Future
- A future you do not want.

Money by itself, in itself

Is not the Future - What is it then ?
Thou will not let go for that much a gain
What will thou then have and let go ?

How weary, stall, flat, unprofitable

Seem to me all the uses of the world
Says she quoting from Hamlet
This future I do not want.

The Archbishop knowing need

of the spiritual advise
so required by her
decided to give some of his wealth
of the accumulated wisdom.

The Archbishop attempt's once more:

I will show you the future - sayeth He
- A Future you shall and do not want
Go beyond conflict, duality and schizoid split
For all this is naught
You cannot realize Love or Yourself
Until you drop down into that
deeper level of your being.

Pray let go, Realize the Truth of the situation

You must
Step on a path and follow it carefully
Under the guidance of the Realized ones
When you are ready
A Spiritual Teacher always appears
to help you, to guide you to the path-
To leadeth you
Above Form, beyond senses, untied by thought
in unbound space above all good and evil
To sameness and absoluteness.

A Teacher who shall Leadeth thou

from unhappiness and skepticism
To certainty and peace
From Anguish of the mind
to the serenity of Vision
On an enlightened path.
 The Archbishop continueth
The Real Future then your Majesty is
To Be yourself, know yourself
To be informed absolutely, every moment,
From within
The test of which will be that you shall feel:
No fear, no doubt, no anger
Just Reality and Reality, Truth and Truth
All around you.
Thou shall go beyond the Law
Thus wishing to seek no judicial redress.

Addressing her ownself facing the Archbishop

She sayeth:
If that be true future you offereth
If that be the Future you giveth
Then I shalt let go for that much a gain
I shall therefore have Future and let go.

Money in itself, by itself is not Future

Living life to the full
In full knowledge that I
am not going anywhere but THERE
That be the Future I asketh for
That be the Future I shall have
For that is the only Future there is.

Oh! Lord Eternal One

Shouteth the Archbishop of the Anglican Church
Pray be kind and enlightening to ALL confused beings-
So be it Your Majesty
May God bless thee, keep thy always in his light
May thee be the light - the Future you wantst
When you do not know what you want
You can not possibly achieve It.
