A Poem of Love and Adventure
Koos Nolst Trenite
Fiercely Hated I am, by the very Envious,
mortally Feared I am, by the very Evil,
forcefully Denied and heavily Fought I am, by the very Cowardly, and
scathingly Despised I am, by the very Ugly.
But Loved and Respected by the billions,
highly Intelligent and Wise in philosophy and governing, and
intensely Loving and Caring as saints are, I am
one of the most Beautiful,
for many the most Beautiful being on Earth in Art and Music.
This is what
you will get, when you
stand by me and by each other,
this is what
you will multiply by your own Beauty,
multiply with your own Loving and Care, multiply
with your own Intelligence and Wisdom,
to be given to many, by
standing by me and by each other.
And this is what I expect from
you who stands by me or joins with me:
Beautiful you are,
free you are, from creating by yourself, or passing on, emotions or
actions of Hate and Envy; and
longing you are, to tell Pretense from Genuine; and
burning you are, to tell Evil from Good; and
desiring you are with joy, to naturally tell Ugly from Beautiful.
Things that are not lightly said, inspired
by light of poets and considered well:
Roots that hold you standing, as a tree does stand and, in the light,
will clean the atmosphere,
in the spiritual storms on Earth,
in the hurricanes that rage,
in the cyclones that become visible if you penetrate and see above
the clouds of Oblivion; if you penetrate
the veils of forgetting cherished friends, and exquisite abilities,
the riches of lives past; if you penetrate
the nebulae of Serenity, of enforced certainty of awareness; if you
penetrate
the mists of Euphoria, of lulled security and of joyful entrapment;
if you penetrate
the distortion of actual times and of actual locations as if they
are other worlds or other dimensions.
Roots with which you hold what is and what really was and what will
be, to keep life up amidst
the clouds and lightning storms of those who pretend to know, amidst
the hurricanes and cyclones of those who hide or
misdirect their own rage and the rage of others.
If genuine Beauty, and
freedom of Hate and lacking of Envy, and the
desire to tell hidden Evil from unacknowledged Good, and the
aliveness that wants to distinguish clever or forceful Pretense from
deeply-felt Sincerity,
are yours,
and therefore,
if these Roots that are necessary to
penetrate those Clouds, to
stand up to the lightning storms, to
hold out in the hurricanes, and to
avoid the cyclones if you can,
are yours
and therefore,
if that's how you are still now,
whoever you are now, and
wherever you are now, and
whatever you are now,
then
stand by me, and by each other with me.
If you know others who are, then
tell them, let them join with me and with each other, and
let me join with them for they are very special indeed, on Earth.

The tone and style were too close to Nietzsche's "Anti-Christ" for me.
Of course there are important differences in message, but the similarities
are disturbing. Just one opinion.
