The Universe Speaks

In its eternal wisdom The universe stands detached From our everyday chattering And the cluttering of our thoughts It is the stuttering of our voice That sums up our brokenness We are scattered all over the field Not touched by the harmonious melody of unity We stand as individuals against the collective consciousness We have trampled the ethos of humanity And shredded the tabernacle of our Love It is true that we are now tampering with our DNA And unbuttoning the template of life All this in the name of science In our pursuit for the finest things in life We left our hearts (spirit) behind And chose to carry our minds in our hands We are now worshipping technology And the latest gadget is our bible We are obsessed with selfies and self-promotions It is the utter selfishness of our minds That will drive the world into ruin Our climate is now dilapidated Global warming is wrecking havoc in our homesteads And poverty is preying on our children While we stand choked by our greedy hearts We have lost the keys to the house of Love And we are homeless in our own homes We have strayed far from our own hearts In search of happiness We feel suffocated by the lack of direction And have fallen victims to depression We have no idea where we are And where we are going We are led by a calendar of events Into an uncertain future We have lost the skills to clean up our mess And we are now stuck in a puddle of confusion It is no wonder the universe is so detached Every now and then it throws a stone (meteoroid) To try and wake us up But our big ego has no time for attention seekers We are in a perilous path of destruction Unless we pause and reflect We need to re-examine our path To seek the truth amongst the gibberish And retrieve our long lost compass from the mucky waters of our mind The Universe has not given up on us For its existence is hinged on our sober minds Catastrophic hurricanes and cyclones are just a reminder Long spells of drought and massive earthquakes Just a few examples of what the universe can do It is totally upon us to revise our ways And re-learn the art of Love Love is the only remedy to our blindness and stupidity We need to Love each other And Love ourselves We need to care for our environment And protect our wildlife We need to kneel down in our hearts And pray for our forgiveness
