Rest In Peace

Mama Winnie Mandela 

The Mother of the nation
has departed
has left the field
to the silent land
it's a touching demise
a tragic loss
our cry
our own mourning
our tears a rain
due to death's reign
a thief
siyalila, siyalila, siyalila
a 'library' has passed away
a teacher is late
her passing is a shock
death does not compromise
death where is your peace ?
death is horrendous
death is atrocious
death be not proud !!
