    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 hairsWithout 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 FateQueen 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 poundsAnd 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 destructionLet 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 earlierHowever 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 adviseso 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 skepticismTo 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.
