It gets better. It gets better and better and better. The next poem is very very introspective, very revealing. The poet goes very deep into his own psyche. He reveals his own secret inner world - his "Fantasies." A poem started in 2005 and continued for two more years. Finally he had himself down on paper. And some of it was hard for him to see, but he had lived with the malady, tried to improve it, and did persevere. We will try to write more about it here.
The poet did not want to discuss this. It was hard to get him to talk about it. It was just too personal. It showed a side of him that he had judged very severely. But it was the real him and he relented. He had written the poem because he did want to get the story out. He did not want to hide behind it. The poet did indeed have a large imagination and he said that this imagination was not known to be very faithful, although he had worked on this. He said that it does have a tendency to stray away from home. It always has and he guessed that it always will. He also thought that this was a natural God given characteristic of mankind. He did not believe that God had written the knowledge that was in the Bible.
But this realization had enabled the poet to suppress the reality behavior and not follow his straying imagination. More on reality suppression later. We can come back to this later.
The poet has a very strong belief in the power of holding up his deep introspective mirror to his very deep imagination. It is a very valuable and informative tool. Psychology is a science, a social science. It searches and searches for tiny insights into our psyche and when it finds an insight it tests it over and over again for accuracy and reliability. We can depend on the science of psychology.
The next seven poems are quite similar. They repeat the same religious messages over and over. Yet they have their differences.
The first poem is a core poem. It defines the remaining Christianity still within the poet. It states how he wishes to behave. It is "5. "Charity...seeketh not her own." "2007. The poet's core belief. As he borrows Christian scripture from the Bible's book of 1st Corinthians, Chapter 13."
It is a very short poem, very concise, very simple, yet very strong. It is to the point. And it's message repeats repetitively in more of his poems.
The next poem in the menu is "6. "God. He Don't Care." "2007 A comment on reproduction." Again, short, concise and to the point, but what a point? It states that God wants us to reproduce. It states that he wrote it into our body and our soul. It implies that he didn't write it into any book. It also states that he doesn't care when, where, how, who, or what. He simply wants us to reproduce. The simplicity of this poem is its power. And so, it is another masterpiece.
