The Despair Of Loneliness Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The Despair Of Loneliness

Rating: 5.0


Loneliness is not only a weed on the fabric of life
It inhabits the mind, body and soul
Contaminating the deeper parts of the human spirit
It's not a substance of abuse by the human mind
It's a yearning emerging outside the fibres of the physical realm
Its tentacles protrudes out of the spiritual realm
Reaching into the house of humanity
Not to comfort and soothe the human heart
But to remind it of the everlasting grief
That occupies the heart of wickedness (absence of Love)
Loneliness is not a venomous monster
It's a malignant tumour
That keeps on growing and growing
Until it occupies the whole substance of being
Causing the great separation in the substance of the mind, body and soul
This is the despair of loneliness
It's a far more dangerous entity
That can tear through flesh
With its ferocious claws (negative thoughts)
Leading to depression and even suicide
This entity is not born of the flesh
It's a far darker and aggressive monster
It knows neither light nor darkness
It is the substance of pure evil
It's not destroyed by the latest technology or the best medicine
It's only the Light from within
That can puncture its fabric
It's only God's Love that can extinguish its flame
Be in Love
Be the Love
