In Search For Perfection Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In search for perfection

Time was invented
By those who are not perfect
To instil some semblance of order and certainty
To distil the impurities inside the sphere of uncertainty
In his pursuit for the garment of perfection
Mankind thought he has stumbled across a precision tool for validity
But he was wrong
Validity is not measured in timeliness
Truth and logic are not the same
Mankind was pursuing logic
And left the truth behind
Logic will give you a false sense of perfection
While the truth gives you the imperfection that is valid
Perfection cannot be applied on the face of physicality
The acidity of the physical environment cannot allow perfection to exist
It's only the spirit that can erect a monument of perfection
And dispel the impurities of uncertainty
Through faith, hope and Love
A garment of perfection is attained
This is the imperfection that is valid for ever and ever
This is the art of Silence
It is the state of being that is forever perfect in an imperfect world
The stillness of mind, body and soul is a rare achievement
Especially in a world that have been swamped with logic
A world that put emphasis on time and space not the state of being (consciousness)
If you can reach the state of silence (stillness) , you are not far from true freedom and peace
It's the medicine (therapy) against uncertainty, fear and hopelessness
