About this poem

In this piece, Faustin Yavo shares an introspective experience where he stresses the importance of listening to oneself. He suggests that neglecting to do so might lead to the destruction of our happiness and humanity. A day of fasting and prayers led him to hear a soft inner voice prompting self-reflection. The voice expressed a preference for simplicity and authenticity, such as small cabins by the water and heartfelt hymns, over grandiose philosophies, towers of Babel and large citadels that can limit and harm human nature. The voice argued that if people took the time to listen to themselves, they would abstain from war, transforming deserts into green lands and eliminating hunger, leading to immense happiness. However, the voice also lamented how people misuse the time given to them, leading to destruction and self-harm. more »
