Toxic People Are Among Us

Someone has to say it People are a source of all kinds of habits These diverse spectrum of personalities is a mine of data That help us explore the corners of our consciousness The beautiful wilderness of consciousness is not hard to miss In those who have beautiful smiles and a wild laughter It is portrayed in lovers, dreamers and seekers It is a source of hope, inspiration and nourishment to our spirit The gentleness of some people is a breath of fresh air A scoop of the most refined part of our spirit It is not physique or rabid words that defines them It is a totality of calmness, peace and true awareness These people are nature's butterflies Colouring the skies of humanity with beautiful habits Portraying the spirit within as a place of comfort, peace and happiness The rugged nature of some people Highlights the properties of the unprocessed ore of consciousness With its darkness and deep pockets of poisonous venom The chemistry of this substance is out of this world Capable of destroying the entire global village This is the substance of toxic people Roaming our streets with swollen venomous fangs Ready to bite anyone within reach Toxic people are the most barbaric of the human species Always ready to puncture the veil of peace They have a reckless tendency of spilling their venom And spraying it into the eyes of their friends, neighbours and colleagues Sometimes even family members They are a source of pain and suffering Or even an all-out war in the community of human beings Toxic people are everywhere, in every tribe, race and nation They are found in religious gatherings, schools and playgrounds They have infested the social media spaces and the corridors of power They are always spreading their doctrine of hate and evil Sometimes in subtle ways But the agenda is always the same To humiliate and pour scorn on the spirit of humanity ©Kenneth Maswabi
