Kamogelo Maubane Poet Bio

Who is truly free, what is true freedom?

In the depths of our souls, where shackles crumble to dust,
There lies the essence of freedom, in which we all must trust.
It's not in chains unbroken, nor in walls torn down,
But in the spirit soaring, where true freedom is found.

Freedom isn't just a word, it's a state of mind,
It's the courage to be different, to leave conformity behind.
It's the power to choose, to walk our own path,
To embrace our flaws and scars, and to laugh and love and laugh.

True freedom isn't bound by borders or by time,
It's the melody of the heart, in its rhythm and its rhyme.
It's the whisper of the wind, the dance of the flame,
It's in every breath we take, in every soul aflame.

So who is truly free? It's you, it's me, it's us,
In our dreams and aspirations, in our triumphs and our trust.
For freedom isn't given, it's something we must claim,
In the depths of our being, where our true selves remain.

Gershon Wolf April 16, 2024 at 6:38 PM Build a strong foundation; then fight its dissipation... In today's world of weakness and vacillation, we truly have to stay strong and rooted in faith (of whatever sort) ~ Faith and Strength, Gershon Kamogelo Maubane September 12, 2024 at 1:52 PM Thank you for your insightful reflection, Gershon. The idea of building a strong foundation and resisting its dissipation resonates deeply, especially in today’s world where values and commitments often feel fragile. Staying rooted in faith—whether it’s faith in ourselves, in a higher power, or in our values—gives us the strength to stand firm amid life's uncertainty. It’s about nurturing resilience in a world that can sometimes sway us into doubt. I truly appreciate your perspective
