A beautiful sad life

In my consultations with Silence

I have openly discussed the issue of human suffering

Undressing all its rigid ligaments and its brittle bones

To make my point clear, I have undressed the elephant in the room

Inequality, injustice, prejudice, tribalism, racism and xenophobia

To beg Silence to respond, and address you through the poetic spirit

I availed my inner being as an altar for the voiceless and the vulnerable

Life is like a sad poem, it is real and full of sorrow

Life is like a happy poem, it's cheerful and full of excitement

A beautiful sad life is not uncommon

It afflicts both the poor and rich

Educated and uneducated

It is like cancer on the flesh of the human soul

With no remedy and no antidote

It is evasive and malignant

Wrapping around the faceless face of the human spirit

With its tentacles, injecting a sense of depravity, loneliness and dejection

A beautiful sad life is not a normal phenomenon

Life was meant to be happy and cheerful

But the open casket of our materialistic mindsets

Throws a stench into the nose of life

Opening a door to the unrealistic reality of despair and suffering

Human beings are not meant to live in isolation

We are a community, a network of social beings

There is no room for individualistic tendencies

Not even greed and selfishness are allowed

But wickedness has found its way into the house of humanity

Pitting Fathers against sons and Mothers against daughters

This is the root of all sadness

Let's hold hands and pave a beautiful life for all

Let's eradicate the mindset of exploitation, corruption and manipulation

Let the sacred Light illuminate our mental and spiritual landscapes

So that we can walk together into a bright future
