The African Legend

He is the 
lion 
strength
He is the 
Pride of 
Africa
He is the 
unbending 
tree along 
the ocean 
waves

He is a 
different 
being
He is the 
African 
warlord
He is the 
Affican 
hero
The 
African 
knight

He is a 
leadership 
model
He is a 
piller of 
the African 
walls
He is a 
continental 
delight
He is Our 
true 
Legend
He is the 
African 
Legend
He is our 
true hero

Goodnight 
African 
papa
Goodnight 
African 
Nelson
Goodnight 
mandela
Sleep well 
in the 
bossom of 
the creator.

Well written poem about Nelson Mandela. Choice of words is good and imagery brilliant.
