Poems of Thobile Maso
A Journey Walker
A poem by Thobile Maso©2006 Thobile Maso
(Poem dedicated to our father Madiba)Growing, crawling and born he was below the mountain valley
Carried by body of his thin strong legs
Here he came, walking forward on his cold warm feet
Eyes looking way back searching for tomorrowA journey walker!
Watching orange sun ready to set beyond the hills
Deep down the quiet hidden night
Smelling ocean tides hoofing like ending sound of thunder
Man can grow as tall no matter howA journey walker!
Rough the world is
Rocky his mountain to climb on
When the waves of life begin to wave
Birth of a new day as a blessing of human social lifeA journey walker!
From long swim to valley of agony and cruelty
Climbing his own steep high mountain
A mountain of kind ones and dangerous species
A mountain of wars and peaceful humans
A world of holiness and drug dealers
A world of freedom and fiefdom of kings
A world of exploiters and freedom fighters
This is a dynamic world he lives inA journey walker!
