Praise him, this son of Africa <br />He withstood mudsling’s of apartheid, <br />From Roben Island, to lead a nation, to set a pace. <br />Count him not, with other comrades, <br />Who cling on, un-ashamedly, <br />Till they are pulled, no sympathy <br />For subjects, heads had rolled, <br />Praise him, Nelson Mandela, in peace <br />He knew prosperity and peace <br />Who all he did for peace!<br /><br />Charles Jagongo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/praise-him-nelson-mandela/
