Great piece of elegance written in poetic diction with conviction. A beautiful piece of poetry depicting the core attributes of a statesman well articulated and nicely penned with insight. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
Dear Ted, it would be nice if you can do all goodness as a president one day..but please dear dont dream to be Mr.President..but always dream to make real, to be a person who always bring shine and goodness to others, helper...you dont need to be Mr president to help, we can help whenever we can..and if one day you be Mr president, be the best to all, you supporters and opponents..because you stand there not because to own power but..to give benefits and smiles to everyone..and thats the reason of being president_Soul
Moses, may be just may be you are one on the waiting. I like your poem
