I Refuse To Bow To False Morality Poem by Louise Tredoux

Today I’m cross-eyed from reading too
much, I’m looking for the answer to the
riddle of life, trying to find a reason to
make life worthwhile; exiled to a farm,
no longer seeing or hearing from my
loved one, all letters forbidden, I must
repent - of being human, for Inheriting
the instinct for love?

I only repent of having been born, of being
forced to live my life, to me religion has
become an object of scorn, a subjugation
of man’s free spirit, a means to control and
suppress us, a weapon in the hands of
parents to mess up their children’s lives;
if I have been born to serve humanity;
then the best service

I can offer is by blowing up the planet earth;
get rid of the people who force self-negation
upon us; relieve consciousness of the burden
of false morality – designed to subdue the most
beautiful in us; developed to control the masses
while the clergy in the Middle Ages committed
the sins forbidden to the respectable burghers
and God-fearing brethren

The false ethics of mankind’s moral leaders
through the ages is driving me insane; I should
stop reading before I commit hara-kiri; the back-
bone of society has always been the hard-
working bourgeoisie who have always been
exploited by the immorality of the reigning
upper classes – who lived in more debauchery
than Hollywood is allowed to show us

On screen, the only value I’ve found is the freedom
to choose how we shall use this life that has been
given to us; of exile and shame I’ve had enough,
I refuse to bow to false morality and give up my
freedom to ease the conscience of selfish moral
arbiters; I shall hold my head high and create my
own life, serve the ends of love and NEVER even
pay lip service to false justice – EVER!
