Life Is Not A Physical Entity Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Under the intoxicating spell of life
Ego is allowed to suppress the human spirit
In its many forms
Ego is a master manipulator
Able to intoxicate the self
Feeding us with delusions
Encouraging us to overextend our presence
And inflate our sense of being
Don't get me wrong
Ego will get you ahead of the rest
You will overtake your own expectations
Ego will bring you success
And lots of accolades
But life is not a physical entity
It is more than flesh
More than the intracellular marshmallow
Life exist beyond death
Life is a spiritual experience
Right now it is just riding the tide of the flesh
But at the moment of death
It reverts back to its original configuration (spirit)
This is where Love comes in
Love is like an all-weather jacket
When you have Love you have life
Because Love is the essence of life
In all its multiple forms
Life cannot exist without Love
Life is too fragile to exist outside the boundary of Love
At its core, life is Love
It is the outburst of Love
That makes life remarkable
Love is the only entity that's purely and totally self-sufficient
Be the Love and you will conquer life
