This poem speaks about our current situation…we are forced to cook with a one legged pot.
Poem: One legged pot
Science has brought us here
Now we have to cook with a one legged pot
The mind, body and spirit has to work together
But the denialism about the workings of the spirit has maimed us
Obliterating our ability to access the whole faculty of consciousness
Religion has also contributed to the loss of interest in spirituality
With their dogmatic approach to issues of consciousness
In order to address our problems in a holistic approach
We need to re-visit the curriculum of human affairs
And erase the mentality of science based knowledge and understanding of life
We need to incorporate all forms of knowledge and wisdom
And pave a better path for humanity
Right now we think the issues of covid-19 disease are only physical and economical
Once again we are going to leave the spirit and part of the mind behind
We are going to do piecemeal therapies with vaccines and think all is well
The mind is going to continue to suffer (loss, depression…etc)
The spirit is actually being renewed by suffering and hopelessness
The spirit is polished in the presence of uncertainty
Humanity will emerge from the scourge of Covid-19 disease with a better spirit
That is if we learn from the classroom of disaster and crisis management
And open the heart of compassion, goodness and love
We have to open the avenues of wealth to all
And distribute the resources equally
We need to erase the concept of poverty
And re-dress the geographic anomaly of wealth flow
We need to get rid of the one-legged pot
And embrace the body, mind and spirit as a whole
Then we will prevent the next pandemic
