Building The Bridge

Since ancient times Words have been used to tie knots Not only among friends But also between foes Words are the lubricant That allows humanity to thrive In the boardrooms of today's life Words are packaged and marketed Either to persuade innocent minds Or to pursue selfish interests Words are bricks Used by wise men and women To unveil the deepest and most hidden realms of their being It's only the foolish men or women Who uses words to disparage others It's true that the Silence within is the oldest form of communication It's also true that words were first assembled out of Silence Now, let's remember that true communication can only start from within To face yourself and undress your fears, hopes and foolishness speaks volumes about your inner self This is the classroom of wisdom Where delusions and illusions are punctured and dissected To unveil a distorted form of reality that we call modernity It's a reality submerged in egocentric madness (materialism) A reality that is full of uncertainty, hopelessness and selfishness The modern human being is obsessed with the physicality of being (rich or poor) The spirit within is neglected and abused Not out of knowledge, understanding and wisdom But out of grooming (Education systems) We are educated to find and define things We are not educated to find our true selves Our passions are often relegated to the periphery of our everyday schedules Silence is dismissed and trampled upon We have forgotten the value of the Silence within We have lost the path to our true selves This poem is not trying to malign and maliciously destroy the new world order This poem is building the bridge to connect the new world order to the pedestal of hope, love and peace ©
