Be The Arrow On The Path Of Life Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The trajectory of life remains uncertain
Not because of the cloud of uncertainty before us
But because of the loss of certainty within our hearts
We have enveloped ourselves with fear and anxiety
Disrobing our mind, body and soul of all the light
We have embarked on a journey of self-preservation
And abandoned the journey of hope
We have strayed away from the path of certainty
Diving deep into the trajectory of uncertainty
We have opened the school of logic
And carelessly adopted its contents
In utter disregard to our all purpose school of faith
We have pasted ourselves on the path of the arrow
Instead of being the arrow on the path of life
We have subjected ourselves to the ways of wickedness
And rejected the fruits of the spirit
Not accepting our spot on the pedestal of life
We chose to hold material success above any other spiritual achievements
We have betrayed our inner spirit and wallowed in a pool egocentrism
We have broken all our inner covenants
Just to race against each other on the path of life
We have undressed our wickedness
Instead of pouring ourselves into the pot of Love
We are brandishing a new sets of values
Based on the capitalistic and individualistic models
Against our inner call to compassion and love
We have walked away from our mission
And scattered our arsenal of spiritual pearls
Instead opting for the seed of money
We have each opened a vault
To store the story of our material success
