Compliance
The poem below was written as 35 days of stage 5 lock down measures came to an end in South Africa on 30 April 2020.
Now, almost four years on, even when the fear-mongering of Covid-pandemania appears to have run its dark and deadly course, there are renewed and daily-created Globalist narratives of fear which still dominate the airwaves. The demand is for ever more compliance to mainstream policies, protocols, and pontifications.
The Globalist fraud is alive, and we are called evermore to stay awake, stay aware, stay vigilant, and above all, refuse to be among those who yield to the weapons of Fear and Compliance.
Let us always choose Faith and Go(o)d Sense!
Compliance I want to be honest with you; Often, when the threat of uncertainty presses in, My body and mind find themselves In a visceral acquiescence; There is a larger shutdown of reason, And the restless rise of mixed emotion, There is the compulsion to protect myself and be safe, The reliance on known securities, As a defence against necessary courage; I feel an equivocation, and then A drawing into a vulnerable shell of compliance; These have been uncertain times, Long and filled with the ready yielding to rules, Sharpened by the daily rhetoric of what is for the good, The enforcement of this lock down Has carried me along day by day, On familiar and unfamiliar pathways, There has been this uneasy social compact, Taking me to the rough edges of my knowing, Daily, I’ve felt the twisting roller-coaster ride of dis-ease, Exposing me to the soft spots of my being, And there has been a thinning of veils of my submission. Compliance has had its many blessings for sure, Recently though, I am struggling to trust this ‘rule of law’. I’m alarmed by the greedy energy of its demands, Wrapped up in uttered and written regulations of control, I feel their deep bites into the fragility of my humanity, My constitutional dignity and rights seeping away, I feel more and more tied down in clamps of tighter obligation, There is a confusing shaking of my ground of being, I find myself wrestling the bullying of my free choice, Now, I’m forced to breathe in the stale air of a dark curfew, As I experience a bolder lock-down of any recalcitrance, Unquestioning citizenship has become the new standard. I want to trust you with this. I will not suffer indefinitely these excessive calls, Many of them ring hollow and feel haunted Under these layered covers of what is deemed best science. I will not rest forever obedient in its grip, I will discern for myself what is good and best, For the wounded whole and not just the part, I join in with a mounting chorus of dissent, I hear voices rising up from the depths of pain and suffering, They call from the dirty belly of our gross inequality, Now is the time for considered non-violent disobedience. © Roger Arendse – 20200430
Unshakeable!
The poem is inspired by reading the New Testament Letter to the Hebrews, chapters 11-13, in unsettling global times.

Unshakeable Daily, the ground shifts, There is slipping and sliding, Distortions of gait, falling, Ungainly postures, parading, Faces creased with insecurity, Eyes sunken in cavities of despair, Darting to and fro in alarm, Words muffled in masked colours, A fear-filled distancing, Touch loudly quarantined, The air electric with dis-ease, The normalising of an inhumanity, There is a shrill shaking, Tremors of trauma, Tears of tragedy, Tormenting spirits, Laughing away our confidence, We stand, wobbly, Knees nervous, even in prayer, Darkening clouds trap rainbows, Faith is being gas lit, Unreachable dreams mock us, Breath choked and suffocated Evil dances on living graves. But despair lacks finality, The sounds of a bubbling alacrity, The groans of creation are growing, Seeds of hope are germinating, Through the dark, a great light is shining. Amidst the pain, there comes a healing, A great crowd of witnesses are applauding, Christ the first fruits, is rising, Compassionate courage is emerging, The unshakeable rule is establishing, Immovable Divinity stands up in solidarity, Death is being swallowed up in victory! © Roger Arendse – 20200608
Let us commit to staying curious, compassionate and courageous during these Globalist and Luciferian dark, dis-eased, dystopian and deadly times.
Let us hold fast to our Faith, eschewing the manufactured and manipulating fears and their messages of unfettered compliance.
Let us grow the groundswell of awareness, courage, and resistance among more and more Global citizen and look to end the Tyrannical and Totalitarian onslaughts on People and Planet.
Kindly spread the word.
Blessings!
