Vusi Thembekwayo

I came across the man of the title
Of this write, I don't know more of
Him, than the clip I saw of him.'
I note though that he reasoned well
Espoused of balance that did so tell
Spoke of learning, a country not earning.'
Teaching self respect that theme strong
Of liking or not, came to me; all along'
I agree emotion anger based
Will sink like a stone, fading ripples; loss
Of trace, the thread thats needed reality.!
To face its content with equinimity
And this digested,  to rise above.'
Flaring emotions, observe the doves
Persistence building breeding of Love
Gaining understanding the harder shove'
It was always so, and always is
Clear minds, clear vision; expose whats hid
Raise up talent , disperse the ills of delusion
Ingest forberance build stamina
Then level the hills, tackle each mountain
One at the time, focus on your destination
While mastering that climb.!

A complex poem that brightens the mind, Joe. It I have mentors that came from the stars. Very humble men..who make a difference. That led me to inner peace . To know, I cannot blame others. Though I know we can honor or try to destroy others. I trust far to much. I know the trolls on this site. Just wanted to add BUSY is no reason for vacuous and first grade comments, we are so “” busy”” that’s a no pass in my book.Many good leaders on earth. You found yours full of truth. Pangie xo

I stumbled across him speaking is all really..' As you Know I am liable to encourage Rather than scold, so in the hope of fostering better actions through my page I made positive comment.'

Hi'ya Andrea..Do look up Adrian.' I forgot to ask Him if he's still on fb when last we spoke I'm Sure He'd follow you back if he's still on it? you Can get videos of him doing (astrology that Highlights Gods events and actions) the way he Portrays it is like a tapestry of planet position And allegory it represents.' He's on you tube.
