Nelson Mandela

He was a great poem A warrior for the freedom of the oppressed A work of art His charismatic aura luring both man and woman He was loved by millions Not only for his sacrifice but for his forgiving character When he walked The flowers admired and wave The leaves quivered The doves of peace release, flew up above A man as great as he will never again be He was peace poetry A work of art Still the greatest example of what democracy should be Freedom was his soul A seed of which he planted in millions of hearts His name Nelson Mandela is a universal echo No more will there be another like him He was the great poetry of our time
