Weep weep not <br />All you broken hearts <br />Weep weep not <br />My spirit has not departed <br />For I have walked the path of inequality <br />And at the end of my journey of reality <br />I have finally found my own immortality <br />By surpassing all my abilities <br /> <br />And the people may say <br />Mandela Mandela <br />Was a man of the people <br />Mandela Mandela <br />Was a man for the people <br />A pillar of potential scope and hope <br />Nearly torn into pieces by life’s ropes <br /> <br />For once let us once more replenish his words <br />For the heavens have opened and there stand the Gods <br />In years to come we will taste his struggle against apartheid <br />We will understand the power of forgiveness from those who have lied <br /> <br />A man with a mission driven by passion <br />A man with a vision and one formidable goal <br />To bring equality between White and Black <br />A man with bare legs that walked the floors <br />And with rare arms that opened strong iron doors <br />From zero to hero <br />From grass to grace <br /> <br />And I may say <br />Weep weep not <br />All you broken hearts <br />Weep weep not <br />For my spirit has not departed <br />Let me take one of your moments <br />Yesterday I came, today I went <br />Now my journey is forever silent <br />And the people may say <br />Mandela Mandela <br />May your soul rest in peace <br />With that one holy kiss! <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright 2013 Sylvia Lovina Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mandela-mandela/
