The Face Of Wickedness Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Many have been fed the soup of ideologies
In the name of education, science, politics and religion
Intoxicated by their new found belief systems
They stood on the podium of the house of humanity
And declared the human spirit dead
Subjecting the spirit of humanity
To the peripheries of human progress
They crafted new formulas for peace and happiness
Rejecting the river of living water
They manufactured sophisticated tastes and aromas
To delude the human mind
Brokering a new covenant with evil forces
They declared the covenant of Love null and void
This is the face of wickedness
When ideologies are used to turn us against each other
Fomenting a spirit of hatred, selfishness and wickedness
Inside the house of humanity
It is the concoction of palatable dishes from the pot of materialism
That has poisoned the heart of humanity
It is the falsification of the Word of God
That has separated the sons and daughters of God
Regardless of our colour, race and religion
The covenant of unconditional Love remains the same
That is the Truth and God is the Truth
The time has come for the house of humanity to be cleansed
And sanitized against the infiltration of evil forces
The heart of humanity is a beacon of hope
Spiritual awakening is not a call to the classroom of confusion
It is a call to submerge ourselves in the ocean of awareness
