Divine Knowledge Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Mankind must stop and learn
The knowledge written on leaves
Does not die with the passing season
Every atom of knowledge is divine
This knowledge is passed on with every falling leaf
Science produces lots of junk knowledge
Plastic is littering our streets
This knowledge is not biodegradable
It keeps on piling on our hands
Today we are talking about climate change
It is not the climate we should be worried about
It is the path that we have taken as humanity
That bothers me
We chose profit over divinity
Luxury over selflessness
We did not want to divide our gifts
According to the laws of our divine nature
You reap what you sow
We failed to learn from the orchard of nature
Where an apple is fully packed with nutrients
An orange is brightly coloured to attract our attention
The sun is the master scientist
From thermodynamics to quantum physics
The world of flora and fauna eat from the industry of the sun
Here, there are no industrial waste - only food chains
We have to go back to the book of divine knowledge
And learn why the process of photosynthesis does not produce smoke
This is true knowledge, when you peel one layer
It produces many more layers of divinity
Again, I will repeat myself
Spirituality and consciousness are the pillars of true knowledge
It is the fruits of the spirit that will give us peace
Compassion, gentleness, kindness and Love
Will bring us back to the school of divine knowledge
