From Silence To Turbulence

The human spirit is a beautiful phenomenon It is laden with the soft material of peace It is a place brimming with unconditional Love It is a serene and quiet place of unimaginable beauty It is the Silence within that forms a canopy of tranquillity A hidden paradise exist deep within our being This is the summit of all creation The pinnacle of beauty But there is a catch, or let me say catch 22 The human being was created to come out of the burrow of his being To fully undress itself of the beauty of the spirit And be disintegrated into body, mind and soul The human being is both blessed and cursed To enter the physical world and be free to taste the contents of life It is not the succulent taste of life that is the problem It is the formation of a malignant tumour deep in the human psyche (ego) Upon entering this world, the beautiful human spirit is slowly discarded And a new form of existence is manufactured Acquired knowledge becomes the golden tool That is used to explore the new world The human being becomes intoxicated with his/her mind Thoughts are used on the track of life (ideologies) Either to create a beautiful niche or to exploit others Emotions are used to gather sympathy or deceive others The human being has now entered a dark realm Where others are used to gain traction of life Competition and individualism are the new ideologies Selfishness and wickedness are born out of this turbulent mind Exploitation becomes the tool to gather the produce of materialism Inequality is the end product of this cunningly designed scam Poverty is created to oppress others This is the most potent form of betrayal of oneself The human being has turned against itself It has become a slayer of its own kind It is intoxicated with ego, selfishness and wickedness It has tasted the poisonous relish from the pot of materialism It has become a force of evil This the realm of turbulence The darkness is thick and the storm is forever It is a place of uncertainty and chaos ©Kenneth Maswabi
