Analysis of Madiba: Icon of The Era (Tribute to Mandela)
-even if the whole world
-visits his graveyard
-to pay tributes
-one after the other
-yet it is not enough
-to appease the unusual love
-the world over
-holds in trust for for madiba
-who stood like the watershed
-between the old and the new world
-but who left the shores
-of our life's vissible rem
-like a running star from the moon
-perching with the roots of the sun
-where the light of life never dies no more
