Nelson Mandela



Nelson Mandela
Our Great leader
Who fought because we were the Majority
Dominated by the white minority
He stode for equality but his reward was captivity

For 27 years he was plunged into agony
A hole of non existence and he was
Asked to stop his fight
But like the Son of Man
He didn't backfire
Cos he was send from the Messaih
To send our enemies to hell fire

His comrades said Courage brother
Donot stumble and  like the waves
he fell and rose again.
The great Mandela
Icon of new South Africa
What a great loss
