The Unknown Is Known Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have been to the house of humanity
It's a house full of needs, desires and loneliness
It's a house brimming with laughter, sorrow and tears
It's a house of pain, anger and hopelessness
It's covered with selfishness and envy
It's a house infested with fear and wickedness
It's a house of worship and friendship
It's a beautiful house
It's not the battery of human weaknesses that caught my eyes
It's the ever shining radiance in each heart
The overflowing river of life
It's the smiles, the laughter and the Love
It's the beautiful warmth that pervades darkness
It's the joy and the sparkle in their eyes
It's the compassionate heart
Fully labelled with Love
Now I know the truth
The unknown is known
It's just hidden in the layer of darkness
That has invaded the human heart
The unknown is the Truth that inhabits every heart
Not out of brutal strength or ferocious claws
But out of Love
The unknown is hidden underneath everyday disguises
It's the ego that stands between you and the unknown
Remove the mask of ego
And the truth will be revealed
We are spiritual beings
That are dependent on Love for warmth and sustenance
Our fire is Love
Without Love we are a desolate house
Without Love we have no Hope
To keep us steady in our feet
We have no shelter to hide us from fear
We have no fortress to keep our imaginations at bay
Without Love we are a cold place
That is lost in time and space
Without Love we are forever doomed
