MANDELA

this tough man has finally died...


spirit stronger than those of his oppressors...


as impossible to kill

as the principle of freedom he espoused


but being merely human

almost as impossible to kill...


that he is not really gone is only cold comfort

for those who didn't rightly hear him


in the first place...who tired to agenda-ize him...


maybe I'm being harsh...when someone of this caliber

leaves the earthly sphere...who can carry the idea forward


but those of lesser fiber...but whatever misuse may ensue


can their fiber not be toughened by carrying his lead forward?

he was only what all of us should be....
