sorry grammar all messed up, thought all sorted.
A priest gets a house a maid a car, a disabled
man who worked all his life is given a wheel-
chair and pittance told to shoo from society.
WE LIVE IN A LOCK THEM AWAY SOCIETY
I WILL KEEP SAYING THIS UNTIL SOME-
THING HAPPENS
BACK TO FRONT

John Keats
In 2005 I took a stroke that almost killed me, I spent a year in
hospital on my back waiting for someone’s help after my
exhausting days in rehab therapy. I met a very caring girl on the
internet, after months of yahoo-ing by computer I decided to go to
the Philippines and meet her, and after speaking to my son I
decided to find a little happiness after that rough year of waking
from a stroke/coma on the brink of death, good food and the
the warmth of a good caring woman was just the ticket I needed.
Playing the journey back and forward in my head arranging my
friend to take me to the airport and my girl to pick me
up on the other side, I went for it. I lived with my girl and her
family and embraced their Philippine lifestyle so
different from ours,
I never felt there was a difference in language or skin tone after a time I felt they were
family. I loved their caring attitude and even embraced their Christian way.
Every day I had a massage and walked in between two bamboo poles on the balcony. I
loved their caring attitude so much I decided to stay and get married.
They took me to fort Santiago where Jose Rizal was imprisoned and shot by firing squad
and also to traditional cabins by the seaside and under a trained therapist’s
care, I was buried waist-deep in therapeutical sands.
After those days of near-death experience, it felt like I was in
heaven, I took potions and herbal remedies, I swam in natural
springs thinking one day I would walk, I even tried to embrace
their Christian ways, any light at the end of any tunnel was a good
light. One day we went to a beautiful cathedral, on the way in I
noticed it was decorated by colorful stations of the cross and
biblical scenes, I noticed every statue was covered by glass cages
like a gaming machine and you had to put money in to light a
the candle that dropped like a jackpot, I couldn’t help think
that the church had some sort of monopoly on suffering
And we were paying for the right to grieve. The mass began and I
sat there beside my future wife and I asked what was
happening, the huge doors were closed and the poor people and
beggars were locked outside, shouldn’t it be the other way around I thought,
shouldn’t all the well-dressed people be out
and the poor people in, I began to feel that
hypocrisy rise in me, that the church had got it all back to front.
Wasn’t the church formed to help needy people, I felt violated and
exploited, I wanted to go up in my wheelchair and
tare the robes from the upper-class priest and throw the challis's
out the door but I sat through the charade. The doors were opened
again after communion, I asked the girl and all her family
For their change thinking
,
I would put on the collection but I asked to leave and was pushed out among the beggars
and thieves homeless and limbless people. I took all the money I had notes and all and
threw it into the air and went home disgusted never again to set foot in these hypocritical
temples.I told my girl I would never be part of organized religions back to
frontness, my marriage has now been annulled because British immigration said she
couldn’t come here to look after me because I am disabled and can’t work to
support the manageress of a company.
All my life I have had to live under this hypocrisy that has raped
and pillaged this land, I have since been told that I’ll
never walk or talk properly and the paralyzed side of my body has
got no better, I might only have one hand but I’ve
got my poems and essays and paintings of spiritual energy and I
feel alive, do you?
