The Vile And Turmoil Of Logic Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

They fed us with venom
Not to kill us
But to fool and maim us
Now we are walking the streets of life
Not knowing the true purpose of life
We bite and swallow everything from the pot of materialism
We are full of judgement and recklessness
We have labelled others as poor, ugly and vulnerable
Yet we are not certain of tomorrow
We are surrounded by uncertainty
We have allowed sorrow to nest in our hearts
Loneliness is our daily cup of misery
We are full of fear and hopelessness
We are afraid of the dark
Because we have been fed horror stories
We have been told that nothing beautiful comes from darkness
Yet we are all clothed with darkness
Our eyes are not ready to see the Light
We are even afraid of Silence
As it's the realm of the unknown
We have to be emptied of the vile and turmoil of logic
Let us learn to dream and walk on the path of hope
We have to swallow our pride
And find our true purpose in life
Surely we are not on this earth to accumulate money
Or to be full of envy and hate
Not even to recite scripture or paraphrase the Holy Books
We are the pedestal of hope
We have to climb onto the seat of Love
And we will see the summit of existence
It's not the equations that will get us there
It is faith, hope and Love
The true navigational points along the path of Light
