The Perfect Well-Being Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Amidst the uncertainties
Created in the body of life
The soft cushion of our minds is filled with toxic emotions, negative energy floods our mindsets
The substance of being is contaminated with fear and hopelessness
Rising inflation and the atrocious acts of barbaric men are all causing turmoil deep inside our hearts
The substance of our being needs our utmost attention and care
Our inner self is blanketed by plumes of anxiety, worry and pure terror
It is not easy to remove all the toxic substances of fear poured into our psyche by the horrendous acts of war
It is not easy to drain the rotten vile that is corroding our vessel of reason and clarity
It is almost impossible to reach into our souls and thoroughly clean the substance of our being
It is is a mind-boggling dilemma that we find ourselves in
But it is not all lost
We can still withdraw our thoughts and emotions from the theatre of war
And submerge our body, mind and soul into Silence
We can create a conducive atmosphere inside our being for our prayers to be transmuted into pure Light
We can embrace the perfect well-being (just for a while) and be the summit of hope
This is the recipe of peace, the calm that is needed to bring change to our collective consciousness
Let us all practice the spirit of togetherness or oneness and make our humanity a hospitable place for all
Let our being be fused and our spirit be a tabernacle of peace
