The Death Of Reason Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

More and more people are starting to question the fabric of reason
Willing to drink from the bowl of delusions
Or to venture in parallel universes
Many people are taking flight from the pedestal of reason
Choosing to gather around conspiracy theories
Hoping to secure the perimeter of their own (selfish)interests
Many are denouncing the basis of logic
Not out of true awareness of the unknown
But out of hopelessness and selfishness
For eons of years, spirituality has illuminated realms beyond reason
Not out of the desire to deceive humanity
But out of unconditional Love
And the need to untie the heart of man from the physical world and materialism
We have reached a juncture in life
Where many are willing to follow false teachings and ideologies
In order to justify their belief systems
Or to feed their hopelessness and ego
It's a terrible mistake for humanity to depart from the truth
And venture into the world of wickedness
Where deception, lies and untruths are peddled in the streets of life
In order to gain control of the human spirit
Humanity stands at the crossroads
Fondling with the idea of freedom
But not knowing which way to take
True freedom is a spiritual phenomenon
With its roots deep in the realm of the spirit
Flowing into our daily lives
To nourish and polish the garden of life
It's the unrestricted appetite for money (materialism)
That has broken the wall of reason
And shattered the heart of logic
Until we stand up and revise our knowledge and belief systems
And repair our democratic institutions
Emphasizing the needs of all people regardless of colour, race and religion
Denouncing inequality and racial profiling
Eradicating poverty and diseases
Humanity is on the verge of collapse and total chaos
The democratic system has been punctuated with corruption
Capitalism has stolen from the heart of humanity
Our moral fibres are hanging loose
Individualism has taken root
Selfishness is the order of the day
