This Time Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Let not the lantern of darkness shine bright again
Let those who are qualified hold the torch of humanity
To lead us to the future
Let's learn from our mistakes and step out of this chaotic experience
It's not the economy that will define the future
It's the unfolded sail of consciousness
That will give us a bright future
It's the contents of liberal minds that can find the path
It's the ship of a well lubricated democracy that will bring us prosperity
Let the hype of nationalism take a back banner
And the true course of life be the discourse
It's impossible to come together
When chaos is in the air
It's impossible to hold the wind accountable
For its destructive effects
Let's seek for peace under a calm sky
Let not the turbulent past dim our hope
Let the future be defined by men and women of valor
Not by the coward display of mistruths and lies
Not by a clouded bowl of politics
But by a peaceful charter of togetherness

Dedicated to the USA Election Day! ! !
