Political Ideology Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

A foreign object inserted into the psyche of Mankind
Slicing through the core principles of human existence
Political ideology is a double edged sword
Capable of both good and evil
In the right hands, political ideology is a catalyst for progress
Removing barriers and exposing the hidden dangers
Allowing humanity to co-exist in peace and prosperity
Political ideology is capable of immense evil
Against the marginalized and the vulnerable
Robbing them of their human decency
Exposing them to the darkest acts of abuse
Political ideology has driven countless wars
Encouraged the extermination of millions
Propagating diseases and poverty
Expanding the gap between the rich and the poor
Exploiting the weaknesses in Mankind
Uprooting cultural and religious beliefs
Cultivating hatred on an industrial scale
Political ideology has the capability to destroy civilizations
Bringing us to the end of history
The end of times
Expunging the future
In a blink of an eye
