A Bowl Of Common Sense Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have never seen a beautiful holiday
Inside the classroom of logic
All my happy moments
Are spent outside the perimeter of logic
It is the peace of mind and the happy heart
That fills the bowl of common sense
Do not judge yourself
Or pour hatred on others
It is a simple lesson of common sense
Spirituality is pasted in every corner of our daily lives
But we are forced to pretend that we are not spirit beings
It is wise to bask in your own Silence
And inhabit your own solitude
Peaceful moments are not cultivated in a laboratory
They are found deep in the substance of our being
Find your true self and submerge yourself in happiness
It is the spirit within that holds the keys to your freedom
Jump inside the bandwagon of spirituality
And let your life be a journey of hope
Do not be afraid of faith, hope and love
These are the cornerstones of life
The highly toxic ego is not your friend
It is the foundation for all your fears
It is the bakery of selfishness, hatred and wickedness
It uses logic to impress you
Only to poison you with the same substance of logic
Life is not a logical puzzle
Happiness is found in empty spaces of the heart
Peace comes to those who are free-spirited
Those who do not overthink or worry too much
Those who are fearless and unashamed of their circumstances
Hope is like a bowl of madness
But it is the remedy for a life of uncertainties and hopelessness
Love is a garment for those who are naked in spirit
This is the bowl of common sense
