The Global Stage

It is petrifying to walk on this stage All of your fears are summoned All of your thoughts are juxtaposed Exposed to the elements of hate, envy and wickedness It is only a matter of time Before you meet your adversary What are you going to tell them? When they throw hostile stares at you Or push you over with their protruding tentacles Are you going to fold your sleeves and fight Or bow down in humility? It takes a beautiful heart to know the answers It is the heart of goodness that holds the truth The truth is found in the bowl of unconditional Love It is wise to leave your ego behind And walk with the agility of the spirit It is the spirit of humanity that should guide you There are hostile entities on the way Do not be afraid The world is full of evil forces But it is the spirit of humanity that will prevail Follow these simple rules Do not judge yourself carelessly Do not judge others carelessly Be gentle but firm in your convictions It takes wisdom to be gentle Do not be afraid Gentleness is a virtue and a fruit of the spirit Climb the global stage with the stride of a thousand horses ©Kenneth Maswabi
