Like Mandela
LIKE MANDELA
Like the sun,
Mandela rose
To shame the darkness
Unveiling the close.
Like the great tide,
He touched high and low
Impacting a print
Like the stamping blow.
Like the roof top,
He guided his home
In acts and words
He kept a tone.
Like a poem man,
He wrote the woes
Of steal of honours
So, he fought the go.
Like the parrot,
Mandela spoke
To the high and mighty
Without a stroke.
Like Iroko,
He stood so bold
To storm the weather
In the hot and cold.
Like the fresh air,
As good as gold
An helper he was
A smoother of road.
Like billion rosaries,
You can't count his goals
Paddle and saddle
Long still, you'll throll.
Like the lion,
He deserves a throne
Crown him forever
With words and owns.
Like mandela,
Let my little grow
To make things better
That the world may glow.
