Loose Change Anyone

Loose Change...Anyone Now we must be careful and pause not make Nelson Mandela into a Jesus figure. He was a warrior and peace maker, prison made him malleable he didn´t upset our capitalist system; we are free to sanctify him. A magician who could read two sides of a coin before it hit the ground. How the high and mighty loved him he was not a threat to them, he smiled and laughed like he remembered a joke. I hope he kept a diary so we can get a glimpse of what he really thought of these corrupt idiots who throng his grave side and speak with fork tongues; o yes, they are very good at pretending; tears of born actors fall easily.
