God-sent
If my virtue requires a
villain
I can be sure that I’m
duping myself,
dabbling in duality with
a quality
that belongs to another
realm.
True virtue is God-sent,
borne
of benevolence, humility
and equanimity.
It breaks us down –
nearer to dust and ashes.
Virtue that lifts us
above others
is a subtle self
promotion, an empty grand gesture
that for whatever good it
does,
adds to the darkness, the
ignorance
and hypocrisy of
ourselves and the world.
O child of God, in the
depths of a ruse
nothing is ever
completely what it seems.
