LEGEND OF THE MADIBA

The stars gathered round to form their constellations
High above the African sky
Invisible to the human eye
Lo, an Emancipator is born

From a royal clan he emerged
To learn the truths of human existence
But to the criminal's lounge was submerged
By men who loved wicked Apartheid

A Nation baptised in the sea of injustice
Day and night he bled to liberate
With weapons of kindness and words of peace
He spearheaded a revolution and opened the gates

Now the sons of South Africa
Pay tribute to their fallen father
The world is one
At least for this season

Born, maybe the worst of them all
Surely died the greatest of them all
Madiba
1918,2013 and forever
