The Late Madiba

The late Madiba, May your soul receive the honor For your true patriotism For your fight for justice For your heroism You stood up against the evil apartheid But that wasn't smooth It cost you a lot For more than two decades, you were behind the bars That was a lot It was such a painful journey That was passing through a thicket But that did not stop you! You kept anticipating For a better tomorrow! Tomorrow of freedom! You emerged as so prominent For your forgiving spirit For your selflessness and generosity You influenced the world Your words were so kind, unifying, and peace-making You were such a great icon Your life added up to something great A long-lasting legacy was made
