Baby Boy Resurrected!
Its parents committed the most
deadly of all possible sins1 that ensured it to fail.
Popular presumptions affirmed that it would spend years in counseling and
jail.
Did deathly experiences energize it to overcome years of exploitation,
injustice, fiery fights,
and protect him while sleeping with scurrying mice and highly unstable
dynamite?
Did W. H. Auden include the fate of this
child without mirth
in his poem, September 1, 1939, the year of this baby’s birth:
I and the public know what all school children learn,
those to whom evil is done do evil in return?
War, school failure, shame, floggings,
homelessness, hunger, hard labor slavery2
earned this most innocent boy misunderstanding about his tenacious bravery.
He found healing in hundreds of books and nature while he quietly
suffered.
Who was protecting him from brutal reality to keep him from feeling too
battered?
The shell of to whom so much evil was done cracked
from distrust and pains;
pushing him to higher intuitive hyper-vigilance to propel miraculous gains.
Empathy, discernment and
spiritual connections were seeding his blessedness.
Would that give him strength to deal with the worst learned helplessness?
Innate curiosity helped him to
transition from shyness to becoming ever bolder,
while retaining firm discipline to re-gain the best of health while growing
older.
So, why did dozens of just aging symptoms accumulate until he was
ready to die,
while doctors were puzzling his serious illness and did not know
the what or why?
An unknown, angelic, voice phoned him to
say: Chemicals are making you sick!
He quickly grasped the seriousness of the global distorted-science
epidemics.
Did spiritual connections with the earth guide him to take in
divinely-created nutrition,
restoring him to the best of health; long postponing his undertaking with a
mortician?
His compassionate nature desires to share
his experiences with a forgiving spirit.
Once with a man who became so nervous that he did not dare to hear it;
the secret about avoiding a global Human Collapse Disease-Disorder death.
Why did sharing such experiences evoke: You scare me!, and not
under his breath?
How much do apathy, denial and belief
entrapments cause people to forever suffer?
Why do rigid mindsets reject much of what conquerors of man-made hell
can offer?
What caused this child to thrive beyond nightmares, instead of going
insane or die?
A world traveler, spiritual care volunteer, public speaker and what else
became I?
What a beautiful, poignant poem of death and
resurrection of the soul. Thank you for sharing. ~ J. Gilmore

Unbelievable but true: All of that by the time he was only twenty years old!
