Words Of Tyranny Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have listened to so many words
It's not their delicate shell that is filled with meaning
It's the contents of the heart that gives words meaning
Sometimes words are intricately woven to produce beautiful poems
Other times words are perfectly arranged to give life to a story
But there are times when words are filled with potent spells
To infuse confusion and delude the mind
These are the words of tyranny unleashed
Words are not just soft sounds from the vocal cords
Or some randomly dislodged pieces of our psyche
Words are spiritual entities fully manifested
It does not take a genius to pour toxic words on the fabric of the mind
It takes only a deeply disturbed heart to unleash havoc with words
The human psyche is a delicate environment
That is not only full of brain matter
But is encapsulated with fear, hopelessness and loneliness
It's these spiritual aspects of the psyche
That are easily swayed by toxic words
It's the thin layer of uncertainties inside the mind
That is easily filled with poisonous ideas
Erupting into a pot of boiling delusions
That contains an inflammable substance of thoughts
Poured on the carpet of life
It ignites like a fire and can easily engulf the collective consciousness
This aspect of the mind is disruptive, chaotic and unhinged
Sometimes exploding into total mayhem
We cannot trace this loss of control to any known psychological disorder
But we can fully establish its spiritual source
It's born out of fear of the unknown
It's only through Faith, Hope and Love
That one is immunized against words of tyranny
It's only through the cultivation of the spirit
That we are set free from the poisonous effects of these words
Be in Love and be the Love
