Objection, Appeal, Ruling, Transcendence

 

This is a poem written in four parts.  "Objection" is written from a woman's perspective upon her rejection of a dude she's not interested in.  "Appeal" is the guy's desperate, last ditch attempt to reason with a "higher court,"  clearly hoping for a sympathetic judge.  But he should've hired Johnny Cochran. 

Is "Ruling" the "end of the road" for he who has failed to win over her heart?  The answers lie in the final piece, "Trancendence."  Unable to find meaning in external relationships and forced to look inward, he discovers that his unnecessary suffering was based on untrue thoughts about himself in the past.

He has awakened and knows that it is up to him to decide on and then create and manifest the future he envisions for himself.  The first and last pieces are written in the exact same form to symbolize his being in harmony and balance with all things, as he has accepted and understood that her decision at the time was indeed best for all.

Objection

I object

To being

The object

Of your

Desire

Get a clue

Or else

I'll feed

You to the

Fire

 

Yes I

Know that

Your feelings

Are for

Real

But in

This matter

I will

Allow no

Appeal

 

And yes

I know

This cuts

Like a

Knife

But I

Suggest you

Move on

With your

Life

 

For in

The end

You might

Very well

See

That maybe

You weren't

Really in

Love with

Me

 

Appeal

Your honor

May I approach

The bench?

 

How could she

My heart

So swiftly steal

And not

Expect me

To appeal

Her decision

To not consider

The possibility

That in time

She might see

Things differently?

 

Stop and

Think just how

I'll appear

Right about now

This time

Next year

She should

Know better

Than they

How things

Can change from

Day to day

 

She's practically

Hardwired into

My brain

Between my heart

And her hand is

An unbreakable chain

But just like

The great

Bob Marley sang

"I don't wanna

Wait in vain

For (her) love."

 

Ruling

In the matter of

The People Vs. Dan:

He is charged with

"High treason against

The realities of Man."

 

As Chief Justice of the

Highest court in the land

It thereby befalls me

To state where I stand .

 

The other six Justices are

Deadlocked at three and three

So it seems the deciding vote

Shall come down to me.

 

The opinion of this Court

Will be just and fair and

May never be challenged

As we do not err.

 

We find the Defendant

Guilty in the first degree

Take him out, lock him up

And throw away the key!

 

Your goose is cooked

And your fate so sealed

This court has heard

Your final appeal.

 

Transcendence

I transcend

Your laws

And your

Judgement as

Well

Don't think

I haven't

Spent some

Time in

Hell

 

Ask for

The clarity

To seek

And you'll

Find

The only

Real prisons

Are those

Of your

Mind

 

"The Reality

Of Man"

Are the

Results at

Last

Brought into

Being by

The thoughts

Of your

Past

 

All we

Need do

Is focus

Energy and

Thought

And soon

see anew

All that

We have

Wrought
