Nelson Mandela
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Nelson Mandela]
A man with the ‘Heart of gold’
Yes, a freedom fighter
who journeyed on a joyless road
for others laughter

When I get to Heaven
some will say they saw Caesar, others Alexandra
I’ll gladly say “I lived in the era
of the great Tata Madiba”

The labour of your hands
shall be not in vain
You made obvious the right way
with the foundation you laid

I promise a laudable account
when we finally meet again
Adieu Legend.
Thank you

    Fair account on “the BLACK’s JESUS”.
    Simple words for a resilient turf.
