SALUTE TO NELSON MANDELA

In this world

We have too many greats and giants;

Reverences for some, most are nuisance.

Some live but better dead;

They are dreaded, bled and evil spread;

Others are dead, but in our hearts, alive.

They fight for the deprived, justice survive.

 

In this world

Great confusion between the true and fake;

The reptile molted their skin, but still snake.

No vanity or pride, the true are just simple

Against all domination, they are never racial.

 

In this world

We see a mix of praise and blame;

The fake played games, gained fame.

The wise are exemplary earthly saints;

Their work earned respect, no taints.

 

In this world

Vice and wise, hard to tell;

Talk or walk will ring the bell.

Warm air in coloured glass spells fake;

Sound jade is hard to scratch or break.
