It Is Not A Mistake That You Were Born Like That Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The truth is not painful
Our eyes are only sore because of the Light
It is not a mistake that you were born like that
Your life is a hospital and a training session
Poor or rich, educated or not
These are only syllabuses in the school of life
The colour of your skin is not the problem
Your blindness to the truth is the only sickness
It hurts to stare at the path of Light
And be exposed to the intensity of Love (God)
But it is only for a little while
Your ego needs to be shredded
And your nakedness polished
This is the purification of the spirit
It is the only purpose of life
Whether poor or rich
You need to be purified
Educated or not
This is not a contest
It is the way of the everlasting life
Stop hurting yourself
Just come back to the pedestal of hope
Drink from the river of life
And be nourished by the fruits of the spirit
Compassion is your therapy, not his or hers
Be humble, humility is the perfect pill for the soul
Embrace peace, it is the only true treasure
Forgive, forgiveness is a soap that cleanses the spirit
Above all, Love unconditionally
This is the way of the spirit
Love is a garment and a shield
That is worn in the presence of God
