The State Of The World Address Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I am not a politician
To weave words and lies in one sentence
The present state of the world is chaotic, miserable and full of pain
The Covid-19 virus uprising is causing concern
We are hearing of new variants almost daily
Our arsenal of vaccines is nowhere to be seen
It is an injustice to fight a war with no weapons
Our frontline workers are exhausted
Our street workers are wallowing in misery
The house of humanity is being ransacked by a monster
We have to refocus our efforts
And come up with a better and clear strategy
It is not a time for political ideologies
Or conspiracy theories
It is a time to think together and act together
It is a time to enter the house of humanity
And count our losses
Then we can gather our tears
And climb the pedestal of hope
This is a time to unfold the tabernacle of our being
And be present inside the presence of unconditional Love
It is time to give and give and give
It is a time to bless your friend, neighbour and enemy
To wish them well in their struggle against the pandemic
It is not only those with bleeding wounds
That must be addressed
Even those with psychosocial issues should be undressed
And given the attention they deserve
We have to make it our collective mission
To cleanse (sanitize) the house of humanity
Heal the sick and comfort the bereaved
We will be victorious in our endeavour
To get rid of the pandemic
Together we can
Thank you
