At peace with his ideas

South Africans mourn the loss of Nelson Mandela
You're not alone
The world scrambles to find the perfect quote
The perfect picture
The ideal song

How is it that a star so bright
A man of patience
Be that light
Name given by a teacher
Sentenced to prison in 1962
More than 20 calendars and still he remained focused
Stayed true

Not a terrorist but a brother
Like a mother he gave birth to a dream

A love that out weighs hate
Defiant and inspirational
His accent shall ring in the hearts of those who support the movement
Death itself is inevitable

More than just a sense of pride
His ideas worth fighting for
Worth dying for
Segregation dating back to a time when the Dutch ruled
A country, a continent,  with so much to offer
That mountain was moved

Another great leader muted by time
His great works shall speak for itself
Finally we witness an influential blessing out live his prime
As a planet we mourn
In unison
We wept
