Mental Trauma And Spirituality

In these uncertain times We are certainly filled with trauma It is the invincible blows to our skull That will remain open for years The unseen mind is soaked in blood The foreseen effects on our mental health are negligible As compared to the unexpected and unimaginable These are the deleterious effects of the mental blows we have sustained It is impossible to predict what is going to happen Young people are battling on many fronts Unemployment, poverty, diseases and drug abuse Are all ferocious forces pummelling the fabric of their mind There is no penal beating of the mind The hardwired functions of the mind are difficult to repair The irreparable ligaments of the mind are too stiff to cut through The forces of uncertainty are not selective The body, mind and soul are battered Unless you erect a buffer Inside the fabric of your life You will become a victim of these ferocious forces The truth is that we are spiritual beings All of our thoughts and emotions will peel away Only the structure of our spirit will remain It is here where we need to reinforce and barricade ourselves Let us teach our young ones the elements of spirituality Faith, Hope and Love are the permanent pillars of our existence Peace of mind is not a meal, it is a deal you make with yourself Discard all of your expectations, attachments and identities Be naked on the path of life It is the garment of love that will address you It is the ray of hope that will deliver the truth to you It is the oil of faith that will lubricate the fabric of your existence Find the Silence within and lean on it Don't be afraid of the ferocious storms of life Find courage in your emptiness Be the fibre of nothingness Be the spirit force that is fearless and hopeful Fully adorned with the garment of unconditional Love ©Kenneth Maswabi
