THE GLADIATOR
Letting Go
I reach but cannot grasp, my hand is weak at last; falling I look up towards an empty sky
Look an empty cup, half full before, I could reach out but why?
I understand now I am older, so much I was not told; that cunning façade, neatly labelled life
Illusion thinly dressed as valued gold; the thin veneer has worn away, to uncover nothing that is real
Reality was carefully hidden underneath the trampled boards, beneath the playhouse stage
Away from actors playing out their passion and their rage.
Neither a player nor a patron, unconvinced and un-amused, I shake my weary head and refuse
Just a drifter passing through, I leave no trace behind. Invisible before I’m gone, I’m in a place called truth. H ere there is no night or day
No judgment, wrong or right; no battles left to fight; no need to be afraid, my dues have all been paid. I did not slip or fall
I just refused to hold. I was not struck blind, I simply closed my mind

I study the Bible to please my mum
To be noticed not to be a mistake.
Put off baptism as long as I could to please my Dad
Gave up on a life outside my narrow faith.
Married for love to please myself
Struggled to be a good christian wife
content to fit the accepted mould
To satisfy my husbands theocratic life
Had children to spite my God
I saw my life replayed in theirs
I knew then that things must change
I gave them freedom instead of prayers.

This is a post from my lovely wife:
District Convention around '73
My mother bounced me on her knee
" Children here today won't go to school"
How she was taken for such a fool
Dad was an elder "super fine"
My teenage years wasted, towing the line
Pioneered, married, family and that.....
Journeyed together and then we learned TTATT
5th generation Jdubs my kids would now be
If we'd not taken the steps to set ourselves free
So we've run for the hills, through struggle and stumble
and look back to see the watchtower crumble

As a boy
I was certain of only two things:
God's anger,-
and apparent inability to set dates
by the Gregorian calender
I was out-raged but in-doctrinated
And although it's complicated,-
all it really took was a couple of days
researching the couple of pages
before the book of Revelation
to destroy my faith in biblical inspiration(for good)
