The Fabric Of Deception Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It's no longer a moral or religious dogma
The fabric of deception has enveloped us
Everyone is fascinated with lies, falsehood and untruths
The world over is flooded with all kinds of deception, lies and fake news
The era of the white lie as the only acceptable lie is over
Now all kinds of lies are brandished daily on television and newspaper
Whether for political gain or for social status
Lies are recklessly used to win arguments
And carelessly vomited in public places
The era of social media has inflated the space for disseminating lies
It is no longer a moral embarrassment to lie
It is cool to lie as long as you are propagating your political opinion
Truly humanity is on the path of destruction
Every layer of security in our moral senses is being destroyed
Every sacred door is being opened
It is a dog eat dog world
And we are all victims of our own selfishness
It is selfish to lie
Abandoning the collective consciousness
We are now wandering near the perimeter of darkness
Our hearts are being turned into stone cold buckets of lies
We are witnessing the insurgency of wickedness
And the final chapters of moral decay
Life as we know it is over
And a new era of darkness is upon us
It is not too late though
The path of light is always within
The truth is a sacred covenant
A sacrifice and an altar
I can only hope
That this is just a mirage in the path of life
And that the truth will always be our compass
