Kenneth Maswabi Poems

The most beautiful note is silence
In this silence you are elevated to the divine stage
You are neither a diva nor a maestro
You are just one with harmony
...

In the hands of tradition
We were constrained under one tribal roof
In the hands of religion
We were restrained under the roof of doctrine
...

It is not a shame to breakdown the door of inequality
It is not a shame to open the stinking can of worms
It is not a shame to stand on the side of the truth
It is not a shame to put your head on the altar of sacrifice
...

On my prescription
Scribbled in illegibility
Life was dispensed
No doses nor formulations given
...

At the heart of the world today
Slithering in all manner of pomposity
Selfishness has impregnated the human race
Poisoning the well lubricated womb of humanity
...

At the core of this reality
The fibrils are held together by deception
The nuclei wants to remain intact
Abandoning the ethos of democracy
...

It is not known when the future will begin or end
It is only a matter of time before the future is exposed
It is never my intention to play with the secrets of time
And expose the illusion that hold our sanity together
...

In death everything is black and white
You are either light or darkness
Light will pass through the crevice of death
And darkness will await the dawn of time
...

In the past
The message was hidden
Among the different brands of poetry
The million pages of scripture
...

Every time I rest my head on the pillow of Silence
I am totally transformed
Into an illuminated being
A beautiful being
...
