Mandela Poem by Paradox
Mandela Inspires
I watched from afar
As a man struggled and lived
What Black American’s Today African Americans
And countless other African black dissentience people
Di-aspora wide= Live, and died,
And still suffer blacklash from today
But, --it is OK
Fairness is to exist
Yet I’m amazed, and I praise
The efforts and accomplishments
Of Mr. Mandela
His legacy=
Will continue to inspire me
For the rest of my moments
