Madiba Is Dead: Nelson Mandela

Giant of justice has visited Baba Umkulukulu The lion that gave in to wolves like sheep To be sheered for our own freedom has died Father of the black and white Mentor and hero of freedom Our own Madiba has died Anti apartheid hero sleeps with grey hair As we dress in sackcloth to mourn the great Lion Rolihlahla Son of Thembu has rested Though We mourn millions with pain But for the son of Xhosa We pray for Instead of mourning We praise Praise our own Rest in peace Mandela
