Judgment

by Leslie Michel

(1)
Resulting from a massive, expansive, nervous breakthrough...
Be known wearing formal evening clothes sharing finger foods and
champagne on the Tallehatchi bridge.
Dance a tango in your laundromat! Wear loin cloth.

WHY SAY NO?

That which is repressed, resisted, withheld, hidden becomes seductive.

Are you seduced by value?
Assign value to seduction?
ALWAYS commit to whatchulike, whateyelike, whatever, wherever,
whomever, whenever.
Even activity illicit. wanton. taboo.
U.C.L.A. F.D.A. D.E.A. N.R.A. C.I.A., un-approved!
D.N.A.- Do Not Abstain
in mortal fear of ever-lasting HELL FIRE and DAMNATION.

NAKED Run pell mell through the poppy field.

Throw Caution to the wind.
The sole force with strength to hold you captive is your own tortured mind!
Run. Run amok, Run for your life!
Today, every day, is the Last Day.

FEAR forges the bars of your cursed, cramped, damp subterranean cell.
FEAR alone fetters and binds the wild imaginative seeds germinating deep
inside.
What? Why? Murder these innocent embryos bearing higher conscience?

HOMiCIDE! SOUL SUICIDE!

Still waking, walking,
Divine rendered blind
Buried, still breathing, barely Alive!
Soul trapped, claws the casket-lining.
Frightened, Crying. Breathlessly dies.
The Muse putrefies.
A rhythmic pulse is poor proof of Life.
Now Tell me
Have you seen the Light?
