Man De Ya

Man De Ya*** Towering over self-beguilement To achieve an inner contentment; Pardon turned him a pure Gent Earthily, but wholly God-sent! Where he could have chosen wrath He followed Humility’s path! World is closed- we are bereaved. Family, Friends- we are aggrieved. ***During Nelson Mandela’s early days as President of SA and upon visiting Jamaica, revered Poets in that country had a clever pun out of his name; “Man De Ya” meaning, “The Man is Here!” JM 09th January 2014
