Uwe Stroh Poet Free verse

Mandella Was In My Dream

I had a dream
went to a meeting
in an international metropolis
somewhere in Asia Minor
with Mandella, Bono
Schuller and Lieschke.

Clapton and The Edge
were jamming in the background
Santana just shook his head
heavy matters were decided
whilst Neil Young remembered
to wage heavy peace

Mandella just smiled and 
reassured us that no matter what
we must not let fear stand in our way
of carving the road ahead, the road to freedom

Madonna said that the road to hell
is paved with good intentions
and broke into song
yet the harmony sounded more like
don't let fear, don't let fear, don't let fear
intimidate your vision
even if you're blind.

Not many individuals come close to his honor and sincerity. My poem where he appears in a dream has many layers and levels and actually elevates him above the celebrity level of rock stars etc.
