The long hair


God is a long-haired man,
whether they call him Christ or Krishna,
Dionysus or Apollo, or some other holy name,
it's the long hair that marks his holiness,
symbolic for his freedom from all limitations,
the power of his spiritual sovereignty,
and the longer then he grows his hair,
the more he manifests the freedom of his sovereignty,
and the more he controls his spiritual power,
completely superior to all worldliness
and all its mess of deranged politics and prestige;
for like to women, long hair is primarily
a manifestation of beauty
for its freedom, sovereignty and superiority
to all the limitations of mortality,
for there is no beauty where there is no love,
beauty is love's clear manifestation mark,
and nothing is more beautiful with any human being
than if she has grown her hair to some length and beauty,
which always marks the presence and the influence of love,
its power, force, capacity and irrepressibility.
Would I then not worship all long-haired men,
which is the closest we could come
the divine manifestation
of the all-powerfulness of love and beauty?

Yes, it was rather philosophically intended, more general than personal. Thanks for the apt comment.

I like the smooth and progressive nature of this poem, and the subject matter is very interesting (Not because I myself have long hair!) But it's a very interesting take on a physical feature that takes it to other levels.
