Letting Him Off The Hook Poem by Louise Tredoux

I am still angry with Rudi for rejecting
my lovely theory, truth is not needed
for ideals, possibility is endless and
probability is created by our beliefs

Doesn’t he realize how many people
have been helped to survive their lives
positively by holding onto a dream,
by trusting in something bigger than

Themselves, I believe in the power of
the mind, we create what we think we
see, I shall always keep reading beautiful
mystical theories, making parts of it true

By living my life as the spiritual masters
do, fully aware of what I include – making
sure to respectfully exclude all that creates
disharmony, allowing others to choose

What I reject without ever making them
wrong – I’m swallowing – I shall respect
Rudi’s viewpoint too - right after hitting
him just to make him understand

How big the sacrifice in letting him
off the hook…
