Some Rhetorical Questions For The End Of The Year

 Some Rhetorical Questions

If a person's intrinsic dignity you dis-regard, 

And you take, what's not yours to take, 

Then your actions, what do they amount to?

How many of the 10 Commandments did you break?

Whenever you have fallen into degradation, 

(decline in dignity & character) 

With conscious consent, did you act? 

What's making you behave so disgracefully? 

Do your principles align with that of that Sociopath?

Now that you are embroiled in that mire, 

What is it that makes you stay? 

Is there no way out for you in sight?

With that (self-proclaimed spiritual) sociopath, over you holding sway?

Effortlessly Framed

 For context, to be read along with this poem:

This poem highlights the pathology of justifying one's own abhorrent behaviour, because one feels that one has divine backing to be misinformed and cruel.     

[It is futile to expect empathy from those whose idea of righteousness is re-victimizing the victim]

Nobody Loves You As I Do

 

यह बरसो पहले की बात है

Unforgettable

Frost Bitten

 With my mind in a prison

With perception clouding my vision

I looked, but failed to see.

Though presented with precision

The message, I could not envision

It was double-dutch to me.

Bait

 Are these ridiculous claims familiar to you? Do they raise a sense of Déjà vu?

Some Behaviours

Some Behaviours Do Not Change ...
