Atoms And Molecules Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the labyrinth of life
We are taught the principles of physics
And dissect the fundamentals of life
Inside the laboratory of learning
Atoms and molecules are said to be our foundation
We are dressed with physicality
Everything we do
We are told that we made of atoms and molecules
We should obey the laws of physics
And everything will be fine
Now we face a different reality in life
We are far away from the subatomic world
We are submerged in needs
Biopsychosocial needs
Spiritual needs
We are battling with fear, pain and hopelessness
We are starving and deprived of love
We are totally outside the shallow grave of science
We hang our hope on nothingness
And pour our faith on the pillar of the spirit
We are forever looking for love
Unlike the atoms and molecules
We are spiritual beings
Holding the fibre of life
That fills our body, mind and soul
With gigantic waves
Sometimes with silence
We are surely looking for something
It's not the fabric of the physical world
It's deep within the realm of the spirit
It's within our hearts
It's our path
Our home
Our true selves
We are looking for our God
God is Love
