The Two Knowledge Systems Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Mankind is not the kind of Man you see on the street of life
Mankind is a spiritual force that opens chapter after chapter of knowledge
Feeding on the juices of knowledge to try and elevate its consciousness
It is the toxic juices of some of this knowledge that are poisonous to the spirit of Man
Feeding us with ego, selfishness, corruption, individualism, wickedness and evil
Filling us with uncertainty, fear and hopelessness
Currently, Mankind walks on the path of time and space
This is the path of knowledge that perishes
This knowledge comes fully loaded with sophisticated and aromatic tastes
That are magnetic to the tongue of Man
It is this magnetism that intoxicates the spirit of Man
In the overall scheme of things, this knowledge is meaningless
It does not elevate consciousness to its optimum state of awareness
It only pushes knowledge into a loop of progress and non-progress, meaning and meaninglessness
Like a dog chasing its tail in a perilous and fatal spin
The climate change scenario is a typical example
Of technology killing the same platform on which it was built
The nuclear technology is another example
Logic giving way to chaos and death
Progress leading to non-progress, vanity of vanities

Then, there is knowledge that is everlasting, never changing
And fully loaded with peace, hope, happiness and freedom
This is the second knowledge system
This knowledge is found deep within the heart of Man
You have to look inwards and journey on the path of seekers, dreamers and lovers
This is the path of Light where everything is unfolded into nothingness
The true taste of existence is nothingness
And nothingness is the awareness of all possibilities
This is the highest state of consciousness
The beginning and the end are the same
There is no me, you and them
Just Mankind totally submerged in Love
This is the covenant of Love
The second knowledge system is unconditional Love
This is the TRUTH
