An inspiration has died
a leader for the people
a leader of the people
loved by all
hated by no-one
be you black or white
it mattered not
destroying apartheid
suffering hardship
to bring peace and democracy
to his beloved Suid Afrika.

An excellent poem and tribute Harry.
Thanks AL, it was done in a hurry.
As was my post. Done quickly to let people know. I don’t there was a single person who disliked him (after he came out of prison)
I agree totally, loved everywhere.
Beautiful tribute, Harry!
Thanks Caddo
A lovely poem to ease our hearts on such a sad day.
Sad indeed.
Beautiful tribute to a very special man who didnt see himself as special.
Thanks Christine.
