I have forgotten, only John C Maxwell is allowed <br />to air his ethical, moral opinion; individual feeling, <br />emotion or thought is outlawed, only consummate <br />superiority is recognised in this house <br /> <br />I forgot and explained how I felt, you bit off my head <br />how dare I fly in the face of Maxwell’s wonderful max- <br />ims, how dare I feel unsettled when reading certain <br />things, I should react as YOU and - <br /> <br />Your brilliant colleagues do, with total unconcern - how <br />dare I express a contrary opinion? What a total idiot <br />I am for telling you what I think, everyone knows my <br />thoughts and feelings are treason! <br /> <br />So I bite on my tongue and meekly agree with everything <br />you think, the ethical categorical imperatives are to be <br />obeyed as Maxwell claims, my idiotic feelings are fit <br />only for still-born deaths - just be glad <br /> <br />I did not insist on sharing “Hamlet’s Mill” with you, explaining <br />Samson is an allegory for the process of precession, once I <br />take on the Bible also you will really blow up, I suppose…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2010-06-11-allegory/
