Mandela On Justice by Skitzo

To toil, struggle, and fight for rights
That could strife your lifes
Existence,
And distance the measure
Between start and finish
How far would you go
To vote, to speak, 
Always reaching
For justice
Righteous in the pursuit
Lock down for 27
Yes years
Double plus three in time
What Soloman Northup
Was forced to go through	
Nothing in life is fair
From then to now
I frown
But the humble gentleness
Of the worlds statesman
Says.. Aut-awye
Grin, smile
Bear it, ==and yes fear it
And never allow
Such a treacherous state
To come back around
So give pause, =study, =think
Plan, replan, plant seeds
Bring forth good harvest
And cheer
Be humble
And forgive	
For the salvation of your very 
Soul
But maintain
Fight, struggle
Toil
For justice
