Politics Of Race/Tribe And Religion Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It all started as a trickle of hatred
Now, it's a raging flood
Aimed at the heart of humanity
The miracle of love has been abandoned
The truth within our souls vandalized
Morality has been swept under the carpet
Politics has been hijacked by the soulless bandits
Who looks to plunder the human heart
Sucking all the positive energy
Until humanity has withered
Love has been killed
And our souls burnt out

Let's barricade ourselves
Inside the bubble of love
Let's insulate our hearts
Against the coming hatred
Let's bow down our heads
And pray to the Almighty God
The creator of the Universe
To intervene on our behalf
To cast these demons
Out of the hearts of men (women)
To cleanse our souls
And bring back harmony
