A Walk To Freedom

A Walk to Freedom Nelson 'Madiba' Mandela, Needless I say more. But 'cos I need scribble 'bout a gross words, I'll erupt the plain white stadium with my trusted 'vuvuzela'. What's life without heartbreaks? What are roses without thorns? What's a party without cakes? What're doughnuts without holes? Closing in on freedom, Its walk is always punctuated with checkpoints of boredom, The journey has a 'Merlin-like' setting, No cars, no tarred roads, just fretting and sweating. But never be afraid to run out of ideas, For you'd gain perserverance. Never be afraid to jump into conclusion, For only then would you tinker on the solution. Don't be scared of swimming against the tide, For through this, Michael Phelps is known worldwide, Don't be scared of losing track of time, For Usain Bolt jumped the gun in his first race twice. When do I sit on the fence? When do I take the stand? Questions pouring out your mind's lens, Which only a freedom's walk will make you understand.
