Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Flag
Unfamiliar flag,
It's up and down
Today I saw it
Weeping on its knees.
Murmuring students
Hold tears, someone
Else is dead again
The university mourns.
Death, why in our abundance
Is your harvest so rich?...

Mandela Gone
The foundation of the UNO collapsed,
The Nobel trust bankrupted,
In my dreams,
Where is Mandela?
Again in dark,the continent
Invite Edison,
Where is Mandela?
Mandela gone,
Wiping the tears all in mourn!...

Power Outage
Suddenly
we are freed from the burden
of technology.
The universe
reveals itself in a flicker
of golden candlelight.
Mandela, a circle
without beginning, without end.
Can we know ourselves?

Abomination
This is so unfair,
It may cause despair,
With no repair,
Abomination...
So cruel,
Like a car with no fuel,
Which needs a refuel,
Before it starts.
Mandela said it,
That if it can be learnt,
Then it needs to be taught,
To get rid off....

Mind's Eye Mandela
Mind's eye mandela
My anchored threads of thought
Internal musings
Spun into my soul's fine cloth
Tether me to life's hard earth.

Mandela 2
Master here i am just waiting for you
Angels do not hasting all your wings
Not even in the twilight do i have fear
Dark day may lie ahead for our nation
Everyone must heed the master call
Living the life which i was ordained
Acceptance of my journey back home...

Really, Got To Search: Kiffness Songs In Rsa
This young man has helped our sons and daughters
Good as the first responders, essential workers, doctors
He doctors songs of Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel
And shares his humor, wisdom, with news clips parallel:
See the better side of my country, Late Mandela loved us all...

Courage
Courage
Haiku: by Tom
2/21/2021
Being courageous
isn’t the absence of fear,
but controlling fear.
“I learned courage is not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who is unafraid,
but he who conquers that fear.”
Nelson Mandela

At Dawn At Prayer
I
On day ten of 2023
I stand but upon my knee
To celebrate a rosette dawn
It's almost 5 am, heavens open:
Give us peace, wisdom, kindness
For others: we have hurt enough
Time for Ubuntu: human - being
Not human doing, doing, doing
II
LORD, we thank thee
A morning of promise in 2023...

Meghan Markle, doncha think
Marrying your princely fella
Not quite like that time Mandela
Was set free from years in prison?
Seems that public ire has risen.
Sometimes, tiaras do corrode
And princesses turn back to toads.
The biggest threat to being woke:
Get eaten by like-minded folk....

Nelson Mandela de bunked them all
a little man in front of Fox news
laughs at the truth
spews illusions
who could possibly be

to such monsters of hate
Archie Bunkers still exist!

Virtuous Man
As the most impenetrable darkness
It is dissipated by a single ray of light
So
An army of evil men is defeated
By a single virtuous man
For
He has Good on his side! *

* One has to think of Mahatma Gandhi and of Nelson Mandela among
thousand of other men in history!...

The South African Hero
I believe he is the best,
the great above the rest.
Not only in Africa,
but the rest of the world.
He suffered several years
in the university of understanding,
but he never changed at all
like the heroes do.
I believe is my best,
the best above the rest
because he is not corrupt,
biased and greed.
Mandela is great!...
