NELSON MANDELA

We will keep
Thy torch of sacrifice
And 27 years of struggle
At the Robben Island;
To surge inside
Every living cells of
The heaving cosmos
With batons of peace
Ever burning
Towards thy unfathomable
Determination and love
Towards fellow brethrens
The downtrodden and tanned skins

Will flung away
From every corner of space
The web of Apartheid
Lurking in every guise
And vote the downfall
Abated in thoughts and minds.
The doyen of wonder, who
Walked the African soil
The figure of inspiration
The father of fluttering youths
Will gain luster
In eons to keep
Ever burning and bright!

Adieu, my Soul; Adieu!
NELSON MANDELA!!
