We Are Drowning In Uncertainty Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Because of lack of true knowledge
We are drowning in uncertainty
It is now certain
That uncertainty is a substance
That envelopes our being from the outside
Unless you unhook your eyes from the things of this world
And pour yourself on the carpet of existence (Emptiness)
You will always be at the mercy of uncertainty
You have to find time to consume the substance of nothingness (Silence)
And nourish your spirit with the fruits of the spirit (compassion, humility, peace…etc)
It's true the contents of this world are beautiful and attractive
Fully loaded with succulent tastes and exotic desires
Some have fallen for the pot of materialism with its golden froth
Swallowing every bits and pieces from this appetizing dish
Following everything that glitters from the billboard of this life
Intoxicating themselves with selfishness and wickedness
Not aware of the dangers within
We have solidified ourselves on the branches of this illusion
We have formed identities, attachments and expectations
Binding ourselves to the perilous world of time and space
We have fully dressed ourselves with the contents of uncertainty (fear and hopelessness)
And left our true selves (spirit) malnourished and dejected
It is not too late to undress yourself of the garment of hopelessness and fear (uncertainty)
And dress yourself with the substance of nothingness (unconditional Love)
Address your spiritual needs
And fully take responsibility for your trips into the physical world
It is the stillness within that you have to safe guard and nourish
Don't be fooled by the flirting hands of desire
Or the heavy hand of sorrow
You are a bastion of hope, happiness and peace
You are the everlasting substance (spirit) of unconditional Love
Your work in this world is to fulfil your purpose
To drink from the river of life
And pour yourself on the fabric of existence (Love)
It is wise to know yourself and even wiser to Love yourself
It is divine to Love others and to Love God
