The Constructed Existence Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Because of lack of knowledge
Many are foraging far away from their true being
Driven by the cunning hand of the egocentric self
Lured by the superficial lushness of the material world
Attracted by the ever expanding perimeter of selfishness
Many have walked away from their true self (Nothingness)
Penetrating the wilderness of the unknown world
They have deserted the nature and purpose of their existence
A new form of being is being nurtured and nourished (Ego)
The space between nothingness and ego is widening
With new technology and material success
Many will find themselves stranded a long way from home
This new constructed reality harbours far more dangerous forces
Fear is awakened to encapsulate the self
Not out of truthfulness
But out of lies, deceit and illusions
Hopelessness, boredom and loneliness will arise
And inhabit our being
Depression will increase
Suicide and violence will continue to increase
It's the nature of the constructed reality to feed us with logic
And try to wipe away the need for solitude, togetherness and love
The tunnel of hope will be buried
And faith, hope and Love denounced
Ego is the illusion of existence
Now it's not too late to turn back
And look within
It's here where you will find Silence (Stillness)
In this silence, you will be undressed of your ego
And a garment of Love will be unveiled
Our true self is made of nothingness
And our true form is Love
Our purpose is Unconditional Love
God is Love
