Mandela

The Man, The struggle embedded In the fountain of consciousness. Freedom melted in time Behind cold bars! Pain bravely endured While the oppressors laughed! The Man, Symbol of Peace and Pride! Physically mistreated But always high in spirit! Hatred never touched His mind or soul! Neither race nor color Became an issue! The Man, Symbol of Wisdom and Patience, Beautifully decorated By the colors of the rainbow! The Man, the legend, Symbol of Freedom For the entire humanity! The Man, Loved and admired By the whole world! Physically mistreated But always spiritually alive Through the mind and soul Of every human with consciousness And every new born! To you, I dedicate, This humble poem! R.I.P.
