The Disruption Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The Disruption



This is not an academic discussion cut short
This is a pandemic excursion into our daily lives
The election of a humongous pathogen into the office of human affairs
The dissolution of a harmonious society
It is the demarcation of our minds into sections of peace and fear
The demonstration of hope and hopelessness
The dissection of the human psyche into slices of sanity and insanity
The creation of toxic environments and safe havens
The action of disrupting the human physical and mental exuberances
The insertion of spirituality into our daily routine and timelines
The epistle of the darkest chapter in human history
The epic of sorrow, death and resilience
The final episode of death by suffocation
The disruption is an onslaught on Mankind's constructed reality
The tearing down of the great billboard of human progress
The systematic destruction of a formidable foe (ego)
The disruption is not the final battle between pathogens and Man
It is the final chapter in the book of humanity as a divided race
It is the creation of a new human base that share the same scars
This is the basis of the next episode of love, consciousness and humanity
The lifting of the darkest curtain on the window of life is imminent
The rays of hope are finally on our doorstep
The illuminated path of light is a whole new kind of experience

5) And what do we learn from this? That the viruses are here to stay and that we have to get a virus shot every autumn in addition to the old annual virus shot. Light always gives hope, but we already had this a century ago, Sir.

3) That was Pandemic 1 without a vaccine and now this is Pandemic 2 with so many types of vaccine that it doesn't make you good. As long as God allows us to live on this earth, the philosophy of 'The survival of the fittest'

2) but don't forget the Spanish Flu in the autumn of 1918 when there was no vaccine yet! 50 million died worldwide and in the Netherlands 1% of the total Dutch population of that time died, which was 60,000.
