Kenneth Maswabi Poems

Under rated
Crying is tucked away
Among the undesirable involuntary human acts
Pasted together with WEAKNESS among men
...

Stop and listen
There is a blistering silence
Pervading the African continent
A constipated silence
...

In its bartered state of chronic fear
The human mind is a consumer of all knowledge
Regardless of the origin or purpose
The human mind is a sponge
...

Hope this letter finds you seated
In your cosy little world
Where mere mortals are forbidden
And life is a pleasant dream
...

Today I spoke to the wrong person
with his negative attitude
and his degrading words
I collapsed inside
...

I wake up every morning
Fully clothed with love
My heart singing love songs
My soul full of admiration
...

When Hope is low
The mind is forced to reconfigure itself
A life-saving protocol is instituted
And patience is activated
...

I possess the unconscious consciousness
I live in the uninhabited world of the subconscious mind
I am a thought, an idea and the inner working of an imaginative mind
I spend most of my time popping in and out of consciousness
...

I've been walking in darkness for too long
I've encountered troubled souls on the way
I've been called a troubled soul
I've lost a lot of great friends
...

Poets hold life in their focused brains
Examining the strings that bind it together
Searching for the elusive Soul
The eternal womb of Love
...
