Drainin’ the Steel

He just wants the people he love to be fair to. (vision of Nithish standing in the forest at a microphone stand and speaking into the mic)
Life is a very changed little boy.
He’s not gonna control.
Will see everything
eight thousand,
which means he doesn’t see it as himself.

You gotta take the phone out of his hands
and let him listen to you.
You got a therapy.
You can help it.
In the interest of therapy
you will go.
Okay then,
a PowerPoint presentation,
you spend the night with me in the phone.

He had just been through a hard time
for any conversation at all with him.
I let him
throw the other people in jail.
A file said that.
Boy’s not gonna go crazy
and do anything rough to his daddy.

Just bury your head and see
now’s not a good time.
I vintage.
We’re tired.
It’s been my dream
to have a mountain visit with daddy.
I can’t get up.

They don’t go.
They don’t leave him out.
They guard him all the time.
It’s impossible to see him
wherever they visit.
I can’t hear a car.

Did you make yourself useful?
Not yet.
See you soon
Nithish.
Goin’ to Kuru you’re not fondu, over?
I don’t think so.
I stay away from that plan.

Why is the son
not supporting seeing me?
What is that? (two visions of ugly, insane pictures of some horrible place)
Hell
my mother makes me imagine,
my mother messages me.
There is a want to see you
gotten in.

Could not believe it,
we are right where we see each other weird,
but I belong
to him.
In a child’s mind three and a half months is a long time
not bein’ with his daddy.
He forgets the report.
He forgets the love and attention.

Christ look ahead.
Don’t overlook your eves.
Does it take all day?
I’m with you so much
right now,
watch your glow.
(vision of Ramya, a young woman I’m a daddy to. She’s looking at me and smiling)
You give everybody kindness.
Give me your love and support.

On Monday the child never woke back.
Come here.
I told him
tomorrow’s thinking about that
does not measure our true love.
Have a good day.
I love you.

Go into the Earth tower,
I have to maintain.
I cannot see Nithish and that kills me.
I watch his moods change from day to day.
I’m inside his consciousness you see.
He toys with me like a rabbit
and then just puts me down and forgets about me for a while.

We achieved union together,
and this is the price I pay for it.
A child does not know your worth.
They only see themselves.
I can’t take this child anymore.
I carry his pain all day.
He just wants to be happy and forget about me.
I’m too much trouble for him right now.

What evil is this
a mother does to her child?
No one questions the mother’s insanity
to forbid any contact whatsoever,
when she herself will admit
I was good to the boy and did not abuse him.

This is killing his character,
but this is India,
and we don’t protect our children,
and we do not know the damage the heart can do
to a child that’s been made to kill his love
for one of his parents.
This boy will not be kind.

I can only sit here and watch it all
and cry.
I so want to help my boy.
I am with him every minute of every day,
and the sleepless nights
just tear me apart,
and it’s all I can do to maintain,
and I must maintain.

Do you consider me?
I’m a value in consciousness,
and the same you hear from me
I opened up in this boy,
but that has been killed too,
and no one seems to mind.

I love you Nithish,
and I will not give up on you,
and I understand your pain
and your need to be a boy.
I am a parent and I can take sacrifice.
I just wish you could see me
as I am
and not in the stench of gaslight
you mother has put you through.

It’s inevitable
that one day you will.
A demon can only hold the field for so long
before the divine forces prevail.
Do you see me Nithish?
I am here,
and I’m not going anywhere.

Forward

photo by his daddy
Let’s move forward Nithish.
It’s time to move forward Nithish.
The camera pushes in,
immediately replaces your silence with sound.
It seemed to have the heart glow of eternity.
Some price is right.
Making sense out of a horrible situation, okay?
I can be the whole thing now, forever.

Now I can’t be a boy. [line heard sung as though Nithish is singing it]

I can’t cover good for you
when he knows
you won’t say my name in proper.
You won’t say how you feel.

What do I need to save you?
I need you to call my name in public,
say how you really feel,
to whomever asks.
Be honest about it:
you want to live with your daddy;
you are not happy with your parents.

If you don’t do this you will die
to all of your dreams and aspirations,
to a happy childhood,
to being a teenager in America,
to being an adult who’s a poet,
who loves the world and protects children.
You will die to yourself Nithish.

Listen to me good.
I have more to say but that’s the main thing:
you must call my name now,
in front of your parents,
in front of Kuruchikuppam,
in front of the city of Pondicherry.

When a random stranger asks,
when your parents ask,
when anybody asks:
you love your daddy;
you want to live with him;
your parents have been very mean to you.

Go to type.
Type good news,
fast car,
your heart’s desire.
I need you to listen to me Nithish.
To mask truth
so people can rob you of your identity,
take from you who you are,
you’re destroying your own dreams;
you’re kissing the feet of those who abuse you;
you are not getting your heart’s desire;
you are getting nightmares.

Don’t worry.
I am here.
Let me help you,
but you need to also help yourself.
You are not helpless.
You are not a baby.
You are scared to death.

Do you know how many social workers
are watching what’s happening to you right now?
You have an audience of concerned people,
and your mother knows that.
If they try to put you into a boy’s hostel,
if you even get beat again,
they will stop all that,
but you need to speak up so they can.

They are going by what your mother tells them
and everyone else:
you are happy with her;
you do not want to see me;
you are perfectly normal now.

This is Nithish,
not who my mother says I am.
Call my name.
Call your own name,
else you will not come out of this water,
and you cannot be a boy.

They are going by what your mother tells them
and everyone else:
you are happy with her;
you do not want to see me;
you are perfectly normal now.

This is Nithish,
not who my mother says I am.
Call my name.
Call your own name,
else you will not come out of this water,
and you cannot be a boy.

How many thousands of books have failed,
books to help humanity,
and they never made to public eyes?
Do you want yours to fail Nithish?
You have to be the hero your dreams show you are.
You have to vanquish the demons
like you say you do in your poetry.
You have to stand up for yourself.
You have to stand up for every kid in the world.

That’s what’s going on:
you have to be the poet of a sunrise,
that sunrise a better humanity with our children.

The Book of Change The Eye of Change

photos by the author
I made a religious issue.
He’s not allowed to love the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
He’s not allowed to write his poetry
from the divine,
that give you face to miracle.
He’s not even allowed to read his poetry
or see his YouTube videos

the poet takes shape.

He’s being beaten and bruised
to renounce me and these things,
and no one’s here to help him but me,
and they’re threatening me with jail if I go anywhere near him,
but will admit I did not abuse him,
was good to that boy.
They just don’t want him with me
because they have abused him,
and they don’t him to tell me that
so that I tell you.

We cannot have one second together
his mother brags.
Where do we put this on the shelf?
A child’s suicide?
A child runs away?
A child has a heart attack
nervous breakdown?
Or a child who’s dead to the world,
lost his humanity
because his parents killed it?
What kind of man will that make?

Pondicherry,
those are you options.
I can do nothing else but warn you
somethin’s terrible comin’
from that boy
if you deny his right to see me
and be the daddy I am to him,
aka his poetry guide and spiritual teacher.

We need your help.
This boy’s extraordinary
in his reaches of soul.
You could do well to have a poet of this stature.
Poetry the boy?
Imagine poetry the man.
He’s here for you,
and you do not see that.

You think a foreigner raised him,
and now a foreigner wants him back.
Do you every listen to your scripture?
It’s not about being Indian it’s about being human.
It addresses the world.
It takes the hand of oneness
and confronts the world with it.
I have that vision constant in my worldview.
You hate me for it.
I can love unconditionally,
and I can love this boy to safety,
despite your hatred of the foreigner.

In oneness there is no foreigners.
We are each human being,
and I ride your town with that identity,
and I was giving it to this little boy,
a worldview based on oneness,
based on who we are.
We are That you see.
What made India’s past great?
Godmen and Godwomen,
seers that brought down civilization from the Gods,
Rishis that reveal to us
the godly life.

I am not an American I am not a foreigner.
I am a human being through and through,
but I have chosen India as my home
because here the Gods can still communicate with us,
and God had more room to act,
because He is alive in so many hearts,
however narrow they put Him,
however blindly they may see Him.
It’s a devotion in every shop,
in every home,
and even the atheists have their banner,
but this great spirituality
that India carries in her inner waters,
cannot come to the surface a wellspring for all to drink.
You do not allow that.
You are orthodox Hindu,
orthodox Muslim,
orthodox Christian,
orthodox Buddhist,
orthodox Sikh,
orthodox Jain,
and by orthodox you wear a religion
and do not have concrete inner contact
with the God you adore,
where you view him or her real in consciousness,
or your spiritual ideal,
and through signs and wonders
let it guide you through your day.

This was India of old.
“The ancient minds were better,” Nithish says
in one of his poems.
But you just see that as political turmoil.
I’ve given you a boy,
who still needs further development by me,
but who already is a poet,
through his pain,
giving us high glimpses
of India’s rise
to her humanity.

You let his parents throw that away.
You just want the foreigner gone.
How do I speak to you emergency?
My child needs me you see
to bring him back to good and God.
You are hurting him with your silence,
validating his mother’s abuse of him,
his father’s,
validating the worldview to hurt children,
and I just don’t understand your reasoning.
You are not the boss here,
and this is not a hell world,
although in this situation,
it sure seems like it.

Can it get any worse?
This boy could die,
if not his body,
then his heart and mind to humanity.
This boy’s gonna die,
and you’re being warned before that happens.
Pondicherry,
save your child.

Yesterday night
he gave us a poem,
last time his poetry,
and inner dawn.
People were around to see it.
Where is the sensation?
His poetry record
gives us something to think about,
the paradox of time travel.
You can’t put it down
as a hoax.
You can’t even say it’s terrible poetry,
but it’s useless today
because it hits society
where she can’t figure out stuff,
and no one will get alarmed
that this poet’s being killed,
molested, sat on, abused.

No one will believe me,
and no one will question the boy.
We have his mother on record saying,
“You will not tell on me you will tell what I tell you to say.”
Having just been beaten
for talking to me through a window,
he said mother I will do that,
and then he went to someone he trusted
and cried his eyes out,
wanting me,
wanting the abuse to stop,
and I can even tell you who it is to prove my story,
because he’ll lose the only shoulder he has to cry on.

He will have to be questioned with me,
or he will tell no one nothing,
and I’m the foreigner everybody keeps outside.
You do not know what fairness is,
nor do you care
Pondicherry.
You just want to beat your children,
play with their little dinghies,
make them do what you didn’t want to do as a child,
force them to revolve their life around school
and homework,
as though there is no soul purpose,
as though we are just animals
aggrandizing our gain.

I call on you Pondicherry
to give this boy his chance
at poetic greatness,
but we can at least
liberate him from his parents’
abuse of him and constant control,
and give him his heart’s desire,
his soul’s choice,
at least some days in the week with me,
so I can cure him help him heal him,
and prevent his parents from abusing him more.

Why is that an impossibility?
We go right to the roots of what’s wrong with Indian society:
how you raise children,
and make them subservient to parental abuse,
dominance and control.
You slap your children Pondicherry,
and you tell me it’s normal.

Here’s a fish out of the water
of the entire gamut of abuse,
Nithish’s story,
big so you can see it.
I’m askin’ you to take a look,
that look that brings change,
not because you are angry for what you have seen,
but because you have been hit in your very heart center
for the love of a child,
and you see yourself that child
when you went around the house in underpants,
and you see yourself those parents
diddling with his dolittle,
and slapping him because he doesn’t measure up.

I am not accusing you.
I have learned these lessons as one abused
and as an abuser,
larger than life
like this kid shows.
He got the benefit of all that wisdom,
all that handle with care.
I know how to treat children,
like they are the God in the room,
and they just simply love it there,
and this boy misses his daddy
and wants me to protect him,
but I can nothing
except tell you the story
and get down on my knees and ask you for help.
Please help my boy Pondicherry.

Nithish’s Poem to His Father

photos by the author
Father I can’t take this pain any longer.
It’s an illness to slam you.
I am not responsible at this,
but I know what I’m talking about.
Open mind comes with smartness.
With an open heart comes the father.
It has shaken my whole world,
changed my eyes.
My path is on a unicorn,
a big one.

I look out my widow every day
and ask for freedom
from this barrier.
It’s a block.
You just got to take another way.
You can’t go through it can you?
What if my path is highlighted from the others?
I have my own dreams to chase.

I just found this poem in my carry bag two days ago. I had forgotten about it. Nithish gave it to me some days before he was taken from my home on March 12th. He had been telling me he wanted his muse to give him another poem to his father to explain why he wanted me to tell his parents about him telling me his father had been masturbating his little brothers, and why he gave me the video his mother had made of his little brother Mithrin masturbating. He wanted me to tell his parents these things so that they did not put him to one day a week with me. At that moment, he was living with me during the weekdays and with his parents on the weekends. He wanted to continue to live with me and only visit his parents. We had hoped that would wake his parents up to the difference between my parenting and theirs. It did the very opposite; they took him and showed just how bad parents can be.

He wrote this poem while at school from spiritual vision, meaning that he heard each line spoken into his inner ear, and he copied it down. He does not record the lines like a poem, just writes them down, as he is dyslexic and has a lot of trouble writing. If you have read his other poems posted here, you can see he has developed more as a poet and a writer, and you can hear his feelings and thoughts spoken very clearly, what he wants his father to know, but the poem never got to his father. He was taken just a few days after he wrote it.

It was his father that he was worried about, was not concerned with explaining things to his mother, he told me, because she was the one he blamed for everything. He had written a previous poem to his father months before, before we had decided to take any kind of action to make it so he continued to live with me and visit his parents. “It’s not beef; it’s nature,” he tells his father in the poem, meaning it’s not because of any fight or conflict but, because of his nature, he needs to be more with me. Here is a link to that poem, which we made into a video and put on his YouTube channel, which he is not now allowed to see: https://youtu.be/5EJbAFsCTQo?si=YIJCxrO4QoZ3tU2H

At the moment he wrote this poem, things were not so bad with his parents, or not unusually so, not like now, where he’s being beaten and threatened to be put in a boy’s home regularly, for continuing to love me and want to see me. This poem, like the others I found in his room and posted here, is also prevision of the terrible thing that’s about to happen to him, but here, it’s just days away.

Take That Jerusalem Here Now

map made by Lars, my hunger striking partner
I have to get that picture.
I have to get that picture from the Mount of Olives.
They have refined the books.
That’s it,
pretty intelligent about it.
We didn’t kill ourselves.

I visited the Old City of Jerusalem
and did a hunger strike outside its gates,
three weeks,
ended Easter and Passover 1995.
Then I taped poems of mine all over Jerusalem
in the holy quarters,
dangerously daring in the dead of night.
You wanna see it?

In Jerusalem is here,
and in Pondicherry I will do a hunger strike for my boy,
to protect him from abuse
and get him back home.
You don’t believe me read the story.
I will do anything for love.
Get ready folks.
I’m about to step in God’s hands
and see what they’re made of.
Care to join me come
at the lake.
Day one begins shortly,
for the love of Nithish.

Nobody catches blood on the first day of the field.
It showed that I had been to visa.
We must add those grapes too,
so to be believed.
I got it issued 1977 press,
and that’s it.
My hunger days as a Jesus freak
add to the story.
I converted people at school lunch,
and we’d get on our knees right there in front of everybody.
I’d have them accept Christ.
I read my Bible every day,
studied scripture,
and I attended church every night,
all the denominations.

I didn’t find Christ,
just his name.
The clothes I wore prevented me.
Those clothes were Christianity,
so I took them off,
put my Bible down
and started backpacking and camping on the weekends,
looking for the natural God.
Green Beret came easy after that.

So I went to Jerusalem with a heartache.
Jesus was real I knew it,
but would I find him in all that stone,
all those old places?
I found adventure,
but I did not find Christ.
He was too buried over by religion.
Do I find him today?
A present God in my life yes,
who’s special function is compassion and redemption,
the God of love.

He has appeared to me in vision
so to help with Nithish,
getting that boy back to me
and getting him healed.
So when you talk of the Old City,
this is religion wore off.
It won’t help you none.
I think there’s still hope for Pondicherry
to become a spiritual city of wide dimensions,
for inner watch,
not outer show,
for freedom in the spirit,
not to bow down to a religion.

A free, open, and easy God
that can accept even the atheist
at His dinner table,
and change us all
into better men and women,
The New Jerusalem,
we’ve found it here in Pondicherry.
It is here the Supermind came down,
and it’s here we’ll learn to be a proper city,
considering human beings
before even the law,
learnin’ how to make it right
with our children,
learnin’ the true intent and purpose of school,
and how to treat people who work for you
and pay them well.
No slaves please,
no schedule that excludes your life.
We’re on our way Pondicherry,
we’re on our way.

I wanna be the first one
to raise a child
knowin’ Pondicherry
is a cradle of civilization.
is where we do it,
the supramental manifestation on Earth.
Did you even look at it?
There’s a book here in Pondy with that title.
Take it out for a spin.
It’ll
bring you on the road to destiny Earth
and open up your life
to what we’re actually doing here.

Say hi Billy,
how are you?
Don’t pull that out and show it to me.
Let’s get down to business what you really want.
You want God in your life don’t you.
How do you become you are He?
Pull your pants up I’ll show yah.
My job pretty good,
kids know I like them yes.
I let ‘em play with their little small cars.
Well why not?
I don’t bother them there.
I know how to take that energy
and open their consciousness with it,
and turn that curiosity to God,
never once tellin’ ‘em
playin’ with themselves is wrong.
You just wouldn’t put it in videos
and pass it out in the street.
You protect that child’s privacy
and leave them alone there.
The power we give them
when we do it right.
God rest His case.

You have to find out
tomorrow,
at some point,
your child got raped
with that guidance
that shows them everything
is to make money,
buy nice things,
and walk on people you don’t like
or you disagree with.
Open heart surgery,
open house surgery,
it’s how we find each other again,
so complete and wonderful.

I have the stairs.
Will you walk up them?
Pondicherry it’s time you become yourself,
where peace descends
on your city mood.
Buckle up,
I think you’re fine.
Help me find my boy will yah?
He was halfway in to the new humanity when he was taken,
and you countin’ on me to get it right.
We have pushed suffering
out of his life.

Unfortunately
this is a brand new
way of doing things.
I’ll see you scoff at it at first.
Then I’ll see you think about it.
Then I’ll see you accept it.
We have to go.

You know I hear about Nithish.
And what did you do with that?
Normal,
he’s perfectly normal.
I just spoke to someone who he cried to.
The boy wants his daddy,
tired of being beaten and threatened.
I guess we need insurance.
Yes daddy,
I know daddy.
I’m almost done here.

You were so concerned with your mall and media.
Heartbeats
don’t measure pain.
They just squeeze it,
but this boy’s still feeling pain,
and he hides it from you
because he must.
You beat him, threaten him,
if he even talks to me.
Imagine what you do with him
when he asks you to let him see me.
You’re leavin’ out the full story Sandiya.
You’re not tellin’ the truth.
That is a must Pondicherry,
give this boy back his place
with me, with you, and with God.

Splittin’ with an open guitar,
I will
make people to understand
what I’m asking of them.
Hey Sleeping,
can I ride your tricycle awhile?
My boy’s being abused,
and it won’t let up.
I need this written in the paper.
I need this on the news.
I need to protect my boy.
Will you help me?

I’m not robbin’ cradles.
I’m not doin’ anything bad to him.
I’m bringing him to the fullness of his potential,
and I can show you miracles that’s being done.
Read awhile
his poetry,
and then tell me his parents are right
in keeping him away from that,
in keeping him away from me,
and do you know how they do that?
They beat him they slap him.
They threaten to put him in a boy’s hostel.
They guard him day and night
to keep him from contact me.

Why is this you ask?
The boy prefers me as a parent,
and they can’t stand that,
but do you know what he did?
He told me his father was masturbating his little brothers,
and he gave me a video his mother made of his little brother masturbating.
That’s why they took him from me.
He told me these things.
Do you know how much he’s been punished for that?
Do you know WHERE he’s been punished for that?

It’s happened that way,
and you’re gonna tell me I’m lying,
but no one will question that boy
about the abuse he’s received from his parents
away from those parents,
not a single Child Help worker in this city.
Why is that?
You tell me.

The Function of Nithish

photos by the author

A poem by S. Nithish

I have started my journey.
I feel like I wanna be dead.
But why?
Someone have to stop this school before kids die.

I need help please stop these dictators.
Kids need power too if kids to live in this world in peace.
I ask myself God please help me.
Forsake have you?

It takes a power in India.
I let me talk of light/God I to the world.
I will be in heaven
if I am able to be in peace.

I have started my journey.
I am gonna see my old mind,
and I am gonna write till I see no more.
I seen God.
I need way to escape from reality.
Have they heard God or have they saw a kid talk to God?
Well I have a spark of power now.

I am in sea with sea monsters.
His eye was bigger than my head.
I feel ashamed of myself.

Chapter 2

I have started my journey.
Am I really pissed off?
I ask you that or do I ask me that maybe?
I should ask the world.

I shall be born again in my mind.
Please look me in the eye and talk to me.
They shot my head off,
threw me in fire,
stabbed me.

I can only hear the light,
but can you go?
I am stuck as one.
I am three,
but people only see one
and judge me looking at my face.

I tell them judge me after looking in my inner soul.
Are we kids gonna die without living life a little?
I am very strong my muse.
I have to protect the light from another somebody
from stealing it.

I always say goodnight,
sweet dreams,
but who’s there to that for me?
God help I am homeless.
I have opened my pen to write me.

This poem is a prevision of the future. Nithish wrote it from spiritual vision some months before the horrible situation he’s describing happened to him, when he was taken from my home by his mother, where he lived during the week, visiting his parents on the weekends. That is the journey he started. They did bad things to him, but the worst has been what they have done to his heart by doing Nazi-like things to him to kill his love for me and keep him from having contact of any kind with me, although for the first two months he called me in secret telling me of the abuse, and of course we have inner contact in spiritual vision, or I do; this also has been killed in him by his parents in their attempts to kill his love for me. He doesn’t write poetry anymore, no longer hears his muse.

I need to mention that school for Nithish was the worst thing in the world. He’s been badly abused for his dyslexia in school, both physically and emotionally, and his parents would never allow me to get him tested for the learning disability. But in this poem, school represents where he gets his life lessons, and that takes place at home too. The muse, the inner voice of poetry, uses the symbols that you know, and, if you have some preconceived idea, it won’t override it but use that in the place of what would more represent the truth. That’s going on here with his use of the word school to describe what is going on in his home with his parents.

He was not just slip in two, having to have one face to his parents and another to me, but there was the Nithish alone to himself he had to try and honor also, and so when he’s speaking of being three people, not just one, that’s what he’s talking about. Since the source of his abuse came from his parents punishing him for continuing to love me and wanting to see me, not to mention betraying their bedroom sins to me, he became completely silent about me with anyone he didn’t trust, did not even mention my name, let alone say want to see me.

On the phone he told me that he had to do that because they were treating him very badly, like he was poison, because he had caused all this trouble for his family and brought shame on it, and so, he told me, he had put on a fake smile, but he was really sad inside. So he was one person to his family and another to me, and still another to himself. I cannot tell you what this does to a child, especially one that is right this very second beginning the body changes into adolescence. Mental illness of some sort will ensue at some point. I believe the boy will become a psychopath like his father, who has murdered four men in cold blood for his gang.

Nithiish has now decided he’s finished with me, to honor his parents, and he did that over them buying him a tab so he could play his video games and surf the net. He got that tab by promising his parents that he wouldn’t contact me through it, and he knows that he can do things to contact me without his parents even knowing, which means he’s not contacting me out of fear of his parents finding out; he not doing so because he would disobey his parents. That in itself is enough to do serious damage to a boy’s heart, but he’s done this in the face of a hunger strike I had just told him I was gong to do, so to see him and to help him.

So, getting that toy is more important than me living, a man that was there the day he was born, doing the Saturday thing with him from the time he was one, beginning to babysit him when he was three, becoming a parent of his starting when he was six, and by the time he was seven, he spent more time with me than his parents, living with me at the lake for the last year and some months before he was taken from there by his mother.

When he called me in secret during those first two months, he wanted me to bring someone in to question him, away from his mother, about the abuse he was suffering from by his parents, particularly from her, and I did everything I could to get someone to that house to question him away from his mother. That never happened, despite even Child Help going to the house; they only spoke to his mother, did not follow protocol and talk to the child away from his parents. Police questioned him about me abusing him and his mother, and he said no on both counts, and she was sitting right next to him, and the cops had said that they’d question him away from his mother in another room. He called me and told me about it afterwards.

The final straw came when I told him I had a new advocate, and he called me soon after I told him that, saying he had a plan. He wanted to speak to him alone, and he wanted the advocate to get him talking by asking him about the incident when his mother beat him with a flat, wooden board for saying he wanted to see. He said to start with that question, and he would take it from there.

The night before the meeting we spoke about the meeting on the phone. I just warned him that when he saw me, come and give me a hug, and not to let his mother prevent him from greeting me. She not only did that, she kept him behind her back and put her hand over his face so he couldn’t see me. This changed everything, and the boy began crying, and I was distraught. They went into the office, and I could hear Nithish crying loudly. Finally I was called in, and there was to be no meeting with alone with Nithish. The mother would not allow that.

So I tried to talk to Nithish, but he could not speak. I was very upset by this time and just began asking him what he’d told me he wanted be asked the night before, in our phone conversation. At the question of his mother beating him with board, he managed a weak yes and shook his head yes, keeping his head down, and when I asked him if his mother was abusing him, he answered the same way. By this time his mother, knowing he was telling on her, stood up to take him out of the office, and I tried to prevent that by asking that family welfare be called. I was physically held while she left with the boy. He never called me again after that, which was three weeks ago.

But I had promised him I would help him, and so to do a hunger strike was my last resort, the only power it seemed I had left to use. I will not use it now. The boy is too far gone. All this trauma has changed him, brought the worst of him to the front, and now his tab is more important than my life, and we have so many years together, so many memories, as much as he has with his biological parents, and he is able keep himself from feeling that in order to get some toy, and that toy makes him happy. His parents do not realize what they have done. They have not only killed his love for me, but they’ve killed his love for humanity. The poem above shows you how they did that.

The Spiritual Variable of Nithish

A poem by S. Nithish

I have the flower in my head.
I just want to get it in the light.
Can I just be in my life?
Can I just get my life back?

I am running to the light again.
Pull me up so I can join you.
For next level it’s coming up.

I am crying I need sleep.
They call me poison.
That’s not my name I am Nithish.
Why do you care will show my name to the world
going down the road?

Ha! can you see that coming?
That’s the new world formed.
Pass it can you hear me out?
Let me get back home.
I am very loud if you know—
your smartass come from the divine.

I am blinded from the light.
Is that it that’s the start of the border?
Wanna go beyond?
Let’s go to the spark of soul
that’s a frost fire
running out of school.
Run with me hear the bird.
Run with me for good.

They judge me by any downfall.
Well see my poem from God.
Have you met my birds?
To the surface we can go to New York,
get the jet ski fly away from ground.

If you have been reading these posts of Nithish’s poetry, then you know he’s writing this from spiritual vision, meaning he’s not making it up; it’s spoken into his inner ear and he writes it down. This a poem he wrote while at school some months before he was taken from his home at the lake. In one fell swoop he lost his whole life, me, Douglas, his dogs, his own room, his new computer, the farm, the lake, all of it, and he has not been allowed to return or visit me since, anywhere, call me on the phone, have anyone give him message of me, or view his YouTube channel. Read the last post to see why his parents have done this, and you will suspect, as I do, that they have abuse they are hiding, and they know the boy will tell me if he sees me alone long enough, and they are preventing that.

I don’t think I need to interpret this poem line by line. It’s obvious what he’s talking about, but what’s extraordinary about it, miraculous, is that he wrote this months before the he would be in the situation he’s speaking about, so his future self could read it and understand what is going on. His ‘wokeness’ to his situation comes and goes, more goes than comes actually, if my spiritual vision of him is correct, and I do not know if he is reading my Facebook page or not, but I do know that he has sold me out for a tab, promised his parents he wouldn’t contact me, wouldn’t even look at his own stuff he wrote while he was with me, this and I told him that I was about to do a hunger strike to make good on my promise to protect him. He loves his new toy more than even trying to prevent my death. That sure does make me think, and the purpose of his poetry, why he wrote it to his future self, was to make him think. I do not understand spiritual process, all this miracle just to go to the garbage can of his mind, be deleted.

The Spiritual Vision of Nithish

Saying

by S. Nithish

Today morning I saw a car.
Its name was sunny.
In my I saw sunny.
In my pen I saw sunny again.

And my friend,
he wrote something in a paper,
and he gave it to me.
In the paper it said sing, sing, think.

I saw a sun shine in my life.
One, it will happen again,
right happy I am.
I told you can I have my rights back?
My back I got my back I say,
and you say haha haha.

Are you the Joker?
No I am the divine power of the God.
Wanna see me fly?

Nithish is writing this poem to his future self, as he is in the video-poem “Edge of the Game”. The poem was written some months before he was taken from me, when his life was taken from him, his daddy, his dogs, his computer, his room, his home, and the lake, all in one swoop, and he was taken to live with his parents and given no rights, supervised constantly so as not to try and call or see me, controlled to the nth degree for the same reasons.

The sun that he is talking about is Supermind, and before he was taken, he was a serious student of Supermind. His parents have forbidden him spirituality and to follow Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. The friend that he is talking about is me, and I’ve been writing on Facebook just what he says I’ve been writing so to get him to sing and think, as he’s been almost completely brainwashed by his parents by this time, two and a half months since he was taken. He does not want his rights taken from him, being made to feel like the Joker because they say he’s brought shame to the family, and here he is trying to wake up his future self so he doesn’t lose himself.

You might ask why won’t his parents even look at these things? Do you know they won’t let him read his own poetry? Just ask them to let him, and they will tell you they don’t want him to remember me and change his mind, someone that has been there since the day he was born, parenting him for half of his childhood, giving him years of memory he can’t completely erase, and their answer shows their intent, and it’s not for the needs of Nithish nor is in his best interests. It’s to take his memory of me and to get him to only love them, despite everything, simply to possess him. His mother told me over the phone she did not care about his needs; she wanted him, and he was hers.

Just this poem alone show strong evidence of prevision in the boy’s poetry, and there is much more, where he’s also talking to me from the past, giving me instructions for how to deal with the situation of him being taken by his parents and abused by them in the video-poem “Menu of the Gods”. Then there’s his song, “Big Time Song”, a general prevision about how it feels when they take him from his home, take his life from him, and the process of him coming to understand that, and how “date is in his life, working for his life,” the time that he returns home to the lake.

Yesterday I found a stack of poetry in his drawer in his room that he’d written while in school, and he’d shown the poetry to me when he’d written it, and I’d just filed it away, telling him the poetic quality wasn’t up to pare with the muse he was getting for his YouTube channel. Now I’m reading them, and I’m humbled and blown away by the fact that he wrote all this to his future self of some months hence, to himself now, to guide him to wake up from the brainwashing that’s being done to him by his parents to kill the poet in him and the spiritual seeker, the boy that wants to stand up for children everywhere and have some kind of neighborhood court, he told me, where children can challenge decisions their parents make concerning important things in their life. I must tell you now I’m not really his daddy; I’m his spiritual master, and that’s the secret relationship we’ve been having, what I tell him not to tell anybody, although I am not a master; I’m an adept, but you understand the relationship.

We need strong evidence of the soul and the divine active in humanity today, like more that at any other time in our history, because we are on the brink of destruction. Here we have that, and this is a miracle. We need miracles, ones that can be clearly seen, and what is a miracle but Nature when she has been stripped of her plain clothing of ordinary and shown to possess powers we have suspected all along is in her store, but ones she does not show often enough to believe in nor to very many people at a time, powers that show us her secret divinity and close bond with the soul and God? A miracle, people, I give you a miracle, where the whole wide world can watch it, on the world wide web, the inner poetry of Nithish. We are watching the boy fly.

The Meaning of Abuse

Can I see Nithish,
get in touch with Nithish?

Riot in the sky,
I see this as I’m putting Nithish to bed.
Oh my God it’s the sure I’d Lloyd I’d love to see you.
I’d like my heart back please,
pump when I see him.

Take one daddy to school with you.
How do I choose?
When did you loose the property?
When my mother gave daddy tears.
And if all else fails
don’t let him do my inner.
I’m holdin’ out for a special treatment.
He called.
He answered.
Daddy can talk to me again.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow? (line heard sung)
Where is he?
Why can’t I see him?

He’s incredible.
Show us a way
stay of execution.
Just take him,
I know where he’s at right now.
Generate a whole new record.
The door to your future
you just looking at me
to want to see me.
He turned around as soon as you said that.

To pick up Jesus,
tear a doll out of your breast.
You are hurting me,
go the distance.
The power has put his eyes out.
He bless Nithish.
Thank you for being so sweet.
Everything in my inner power I have done,
my power.

Stop treating me like this.
There’s one problem on the crimes:
I don’t believe you.
You’ll have a typical day at the office
not for long.
I’m mean to measure you,
show you to yourself.
Here I show you.

You are a horrible and wretched little boy.
As far as I know
you haven’t capital anything
except your playthings.
You will see this and fast.
I show this to him.
You will see art.
You are not a brother of the Sun.

You’re being recorded.
Easily jealous,
I will show you what you requested,
the courage to love in the face of defeat,
the courage to love in the face of death,
the courage to love when the one you love
could care less if you live or die.
You are incapable of this courage.
You are incapable of this love.
I give it to you yourself.

Do you see me Nithish?
That is wisdom:
love before anything else,
and my mean little boy,
who’s cut me out of his life and thrown me out in the street,
I honest to God do love you,
and I always will.
I’ve got to give it to you,
you horrible little boy,
so you don’t grow up
a psychopath,
the meaning of abuse.
There I see you.
வணக்கம்,
the world is watching.
What do you say?

Is this what I’m supposed to say to him?
It’s his difference
he appear on the outside
from the Nithish on the inside,
the Nithish that thinks and feels.
The world sees him
the Nithish on the outside
that is spoiled, rotten, and mean.
That’s what the world sees Nithish.
It’s unknown to you
the world can’t see your inner.
You’re a child that thinks and feels,
and you can’t measure the world yet.

How you think and what you feel
are so entirely big to you,
are louder than the world in front of your face,
so loud they fool you.
It is so loud in there
you think the world can see the inner you.
You need to open that up
and show the world what you’re made of.
Can you get a grasp on this Nithish?
If you do not now,
in your little boy self,
right now still in your tender days,
your life will be such a waste
it won’t even be possible to record.
Stand up for yourself now.
Stand up for you.

Can you hear me honey dog?
You know it’s time.
There, I’ve said my piece.
Is it still the meaning of abuse?
We gather abuse that way.
Give this to all people out there who care.

The Terms of Abuse

photos by the author
I will not speak.
My inability to speak
keeps this bottled up inside me
so I don’t feel it.
Do you trust me?
Some day
I will touch this pain again
and tell you how much I love you my very precious daddy.
I cannot do that now.
I’m sorry.
It hurts too much.

Signed, Nithish

Okay world,
you got your answer.
The boy will not stand up for me.
He will simply let me die
without saying a word,
if I choose to do a hunger strike.
That is powerful pain
I have to deal with,
my boy’s denial of me
when I am doing everything I can to help him,
as I promised I would
when I spoke to you on the phone Nithish,
not long ago.
Has it only been two weeks?

Okay Sandiya what can I say but I’m sorry?
I made a very big mistake
in challenging your pride,
and no there was no blackmail
with the intention of putting you or your husband in jail,
no matter what the boy said
the day you took him from my home.
He was confused.
Throughout these two months,
in everything I’ve done,
in everyone I’ve spoken to,
I did not try to put you in jail.
I made no attempt to file a case
of any kind.
The video lies there unopened.
It’s never been used to get you arrested.

Will you please forgive me?
If not for me,
then for the sake of your son?
He needs me and you know it.
His heart is a battlefield,
and he’s just lost a major battle of the war.
You don’t understand love,
how it can’t be killed,
and it only hurts your child to try.

Do you know how much time together we have spent?
Many years of his childhood,
formitable years,
influential years.
We have been so together for so long,
and he can’t just wipe that out of his life,
like it never happened.
It’s too big a hole in his childhood.
He can’t get rid of it.
What you are asking of him is too much,
and it is too cruel.

I can only ask you again to forgive me
for this boy’s sake.
Where does this go?
Let me see him,
and we can avoid this drastic measure
I’m about to take.
Can you see that?
Can you see that with your heart?

After all the years we’ve spent together Sandiya,
since you yourself was 12,
you do not want to let me die
refusing to allow me just two hours alone with your son,
after all that we’ve been through together
for so long.
Please Sandiya listen.
For God’s sake listen,
and let us avoid catastrophe,
let us avoid more pain.
Lay down your arms,
and I lay down mine,
and let us make peace
for children’s sake,
and I do not have to lay down my life
for the sake of this boy.
It is not just me seeing him;
it’s about letting Nithish be Nithish,
what I will truly be fighting for.

Will you accept my apologies?
And we can move on,
get through this,
and give Nithish what he truly needs,
and he needs both of us for that future.
Listen to his English.
Listen to his ideas,
his manner of speaking,
his manner of thinking.
That is my stamp upon him not yours.
You are not an intellectual
nor someone culturally refined.
I am sorry but you aren’t.
I have sophisticated this boy,
cultured him,
in things that are the high pass of humanity,
and I have shown him God
reaching down into his life,
and I have shown him the opening
to the well of soul.

Listen to his poetry very carefully,
and you will not find the stupidity of a child.
That is not a baby there
rattling off
with no will of his own.
It is a very alive and mature soul
wanting this boy to fulfill his purpose
to manage his destiny,
and that is not my destiny nor yours.
It belongs to Nithish alone.
Grant that to him
and let us pass
this brush with death.
I beg you Sandiya.
What else can I do?

I can give him America
and U.S. citizenship
and what his future could do with that,
anywhere in the world.
You can’t give him that.
You are limited to India
for this boy.
Why can’t I open up the world to him?
Because you need him to fulfill your life?
Isn’t that what you told him I wanted him for?
Please Sandiya,
think on yourself.
Doing evil to me with no goodness involved
is a grave sin,
and it will haunt you
for the rest of your days
if we cannot make amends,
and my death will be between you and Nithish
even unto the afterlife,
if you let me die and do not let him to speak.

Let us put his future together,
as I am not a mean man,
unlettered.
I have the college education you want for him,
and I have the experience of an unusual and varied lifetime
that reaches for humanity’s heart.
I do not believe you are filled with so much hate you will let me die.
I do not,
and I stake my life on that belief.
It is not my folly that I hunger strike.
It is your folly,
your heartbreaking refusal to let the boy and I see each other.
Okay Sandiya,
where do we go from here?
It's for Nithish.
