From Busy Timelines To Quality Time Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

From Time To Quality Time

Time has defined reality for eons of years
Every moment is punctured by time
Every day is polluted by time
Time is everywhere
From our classrooms and boardrooms
To our holidays
Everything is measured in time
Our problems are merged with time
Making our solutions time-dependent
It's not possible to hold time in our hands
But yet we have tied time to our agendas
We have magnified the meaning of reality
And piled a lot of time on top
It's seemingly impossible to stop time
But the truth is that
Time is finite
As we expand our thoughts
Time will shrink in stature
As we delve in spiritual realities
Time will disappear
Time has no meaning in the everlasting realm
It's neither present nor meaningful
It's not necessary to count days when you're submerged in Love
It's total foolishness to count time outside the canvas of life and death
It's recklessness to pursue time inside the realm of eternity
It will be a pleasure to unchain ourselves from the reckless hands of time
COVID-19 outbreak gave us an opportunity to retrospect
Reflecting on the benefits of chasing after time and materialism
It's important that we add "quality" to our timelines (timeframes)
And construct a reality based on quality time
A panacea that will bandage our mind, body and souls
And bring healing to our spirits
It's time we expand quality time to every human being on earth
Let's avail resources to all
And unveil a new world order
Based on quality time (and Love)
