Guess Who
Written: March 2024 for Guess Who Contest by: Margarita Lillico

Among the African plains, a man stood tall.
His spirit was unwavering—his bravery never fall.
He was a strong advocate for justice and rights.
The impact he left still brightens the night.
A spirit shone brightly in a world rife with strife,
He proved the power of love and the strength of life.
With every breath, with each stride.
He taught us truths and encouraged pride.
A monument to his life—his words guide
To fight for what's right and never hide.
His legacy remains in every soul.
His soul lights the fuse, fixing broken whole.
His legacy lives on in young and elderly hearts.
His influence will endure via the tales in all parts
So, let's follow his lead and walk in his path.
We can all benefit from his historic wrath.
Hold onto his words and never forget.
Let's carry his torch and beam his target.
We are inspired by his lasting impact and life.
From custody to the presidency, his path strife.
