The Universe Speaks Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

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
