Nakedness Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

From the time of Eve and Adam
We clothed ourselves with the veil of secrets
Covering our spirit with foreign materials
We hid from both the light within and outside
We became partakers in the art of secrets
Introducing deception and illusions into our lives
We became invincible inside our own bodies

Our naked spirit is a jewel
An oasis of life and life in abundance
A pillar of Hope
A spring of living water
It is through our nakedness that we were close to God
For it is childish before God to have secrets
It is an abomination to be deceptive
And it is wickedness to hide from the truth

In all our actions
Let the nakedness of the spirit be revealed
Let us rejoice in the revelation of our true form
Let us shine in our new found freedom
It is the nakedness of the spirit that opens a path of goodness
It is the nakedness of spirit that resonates with Love
It is the nakedness of the spirit that forms the foundation of existence
It is the nakedness of the spirit that opens the door of eternity
