Poem: The Spirit Is Your Compass

African spirituality

Since the just shall live by faith, what is capitalism and socialism or even communism?

The love of money isn’t really the root of evil — a spirit departed as she leaves this paradigm.

You are beautiful, do not let anybody tell you otherwise; still you are rising and glowing and loving.

The soul that lives forever can no longer bear the many matters and real pressures inflicted by materialism.

Dark is beautiful, as beautiful as Brown and Black. Therefore, we will no longer justify the Reason for your Existence.

So many people have given up on others, their loved ones that is, and themselves in the name of surrealism.

Your dreams and ambitions are attainable; keep on believing and loving and glowing and growing.

We have been ignored — hence forgetting ourselves — lost in our despairs; let’s contemplate realism!

We will forever cultivate optimism and we hope that you tag along. We are Humans, as human as criticism.
