Through Thin and Thick

By Jabulane Eric Mabaso

If life is manifested by sinister emaciated and colossal lessons that seek to encourage the spirit of matured self-esteem and discourage the spirit of self contemptible, then one would argue that such title tie-up nicely with the cream of words documented in the book through dynamism.
The focus of the title Through Thin and Thick is to divulge the psyche of humankind to think and perceive possessions out of their placate zone and distinguish the pragmatic world in a circular dimensional shape that necessitates a critical indispensable, stimulating and innovative mind to survive in pleasure and pain, in success and failure, in honor and dishonor, in censure and praise and to keep a peaceful mind under all circumstances.

Book preview

A wish to eye my grandmother

It is almost a decade,

through a long absence.

An absence that disturbs me

with the sadness of thoughts;

of something far more deeply

interfused,

I have looked at the Lebombo border post,

and now my heart is sore and wounded,

I even dream about it,

but is like pouring water into the duck.

My voice is now dead,

I have ran silence,

only father time knows.

Fly the nest

The sun has awakened;

indeed,

it has awake;

"cursed is the ground

for thy sake;

in toil shalt thou

eat of it all the days

of thy life;

in the sweat of thy face shalt

thou eat bread",

indeed,

it has awake.

Genesis 3:17

It

it must be burned.

it must be crashed

and crushed.

it must be grazed

and grinded.

indeed,

it is the greatest enemy on earth.

it must be clinically confined.

Mbuzini

The graves stood tenantlessly,

like quills upon the fretful pope tine,

Mbuzini; a tiny small village in the Mpumalanga Province

of South Africa, where the drama unfurled.

A fatal airplane crashed

in 1986.
