The Human Mind And Conspiracy Theories Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In its bartered state of chronic fear
The human mind is a consumer of all knowledge
Regardless of the origin or purpose
The human mind is a sponge
That sucks information from the surface of life
Always seeking after answers to its dark fears
Excavating deep into the abyss of the unknown
The human mind looks beyond the surface of life
Sometimes it looks under the darkest alleys
To try and make sense of this cancerous tumour of the mind
And maybe find a cure to these deep-seated fears
The fear of the unknown
It's neither the fear of death or the fear of life
Because people have been known to commit suicide
The mind does not fear death
Its biggest fear is the unknown
It's the contents of spirituality that the mind abhors
Putting an intricate matrix of logic in place of spiritual knowledge
In place of faith, hope and Love
The human mind has constructed a barricade of man-made walls
Whether in the form of religious ideologies or scientific philosophies
Or in the form of conspiracy theories
It's the latter form of knowledge that is currently gaining momentum
Conspiracy theories are far more dangerous than ideologies
They have the ability to poison the stem of consciousness
Injecting a hyperbolic state of being
That is not rooted in reality
It's these potent delusional effects of conspiracy theories
That is being used as a weapon against the innocent masses
The truth is being scattered
And replaced by carefully constructed lies, untruths and deceit
That punctures the fabric of reality
Pouring in a new form of atmosphere of understanding
A disfigured sky of knowing (awareness)
That is capable of being manipulated by sophisticated algorithms
Simple trinkets of knowledge
Carefully and strategically inserted into our social media spaces
Or even our daily conversations or classrooms
Conspiracy theories have the power to break families, society and the world
Unlike scientific philosophies or religious ideologies
Conspiracy theories are not constructive
They don't aid the propagation of order
They bring chaos and unleashes anarchy
They are the doomsday tools for the wicked
They are deployed in hand-to-hand combat with the truth
The motive is to disfigure reality
And make people to consider alternative realities based on lies and deceit
The nihilistic form of thought
That is based on time and space (temporality)
And the gathering of materialism as the ultimate purpose of life
It's impossible to replace the truth
It's actually foolishness to try and disfigure the truth
Because the truth is not replaceable or destructible
It's a form of Light
That nourishes life and propagates it to higher levels of consciousness
It's time to awaken our full spectrum of consciousness
And realize that Love is the ultimate state of being
And everything else is foolishness
It's only Love that can transplant us from the path of wickedness
And plant us into the path of Light
It's Love that will destroy the seat of lies, untruths and deceit
And put us on a pedestal of hope
It's faith, hope and Love that will give us a clear path in times of hopelessness
Not conspiracy theories
It's faith, hope and Love that has the power to calm our being
And inject a sense of nothingness into our mind, body and soul
Making us invincible to any hostile circumstances
Dressing us in the everlasting state of being (Love)
God is Love
