The Heart of Man

The heart of Man is small
But its essence is best understood by Our Creator;
It may be small
But its importance is vital to man’s survival.

Man was created for a purpose
But at this point in time,
Seems yet to discover that purpose,
How much more understand it?

We live in a ‘Cat and Mouse’ world
In an era filled with so much selfishness,
An era seemingly void of Integrity,
An era filled with loathing of fellow mankind
And less of brotherly love.

Oh the heart of man though small
Is mighty indeed.
We live in a world
Where daily atrocities occur unabated,
We live in a world
Filled with so much resources that would ensure enough provision
For a huge number of the population but…

Oh Our Gracious Father
Where have we gone wrong?
You put Man in charge of your creation
With the creative ability to make significant impact
But Oh how far off has man gone away
From your notion of an ideal world?

With the current trend of occurrences
Time waits for no one;
But as at this moment
One thing I am sure of is that
Regardless of the fast pace of time,
Change can still occur.

No one prays to become a destitute
Neither does one ask for problems
But it is high time we all re-assess ourselves;
It doesn’t take much for man to donate a dime to worthy causes,
It doesn’t take much for man to donate his time and effort to those in need by showing some Tender Loving Care.

In the words of Prince Tonye Princewill,
“You are blessed so that you can bless others.”
And,
“Have a forgiving spirit because we all make mistakes. That’s why pencils have erasers.”

What we all need to bear in mind
Is that hard times could befall anyone of us.
And so for change to occur in the words of Vince Lombardi and George Bernard Shaw respectively,
“People who work together will win, whether it is against complex football defences, or the problems of modern society.”
and
“If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience?”
