Faces Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Like a template of life
The human face is a monument
Capable of telling stories
From the past, present and a glimpse of the future
The human face is like a river of emotions
Flooded with all the positive and negative energies
Like a map of human nature
It displays both smiles and wrinkles
Tears and dimples
It is a pure thermostat of human consciousness
Adapting to all human conditions
Sadness can be easily painted, same as happiness
You don't need a thick marker to draw tears of despair
You just need to look and observe the sorrow as it oozes out of the eye sockets
Like a volcano with its magma
The human face is a unique garden
Where positive energies could be grown
Sacred seeds of hope, joy and love planted
As we begin the year, let us plant peace on our faces
Let us project peace to those who are cold-hearted, vengeful and full of hatred
Let the warmongers know the true face of humanity
Let our conscience be united in peace, hope and love
Let us unearth the true treasures from our collective consciousness
And display them on these amazing windows of the spirit called our faces
Humanity urgently needs the face of Hope, Peace and Love
Happy New Year to all of you my Beloveds! ! !
