Degradation of life
Brought about by Apartheid
Fueled the blood of this prince
Whom some called terrorist
But others called a hero
For the true terrorism
Was by the government
Who put Apartheid in power
And separated living beings
From the law
Treating them less than humans
While government
Profited off of the misery
Hmmm
Terrorism at its best
Imprisoning the Prince
Who refused to be a slave of Apartheid
When it was really out of fear
Thinking they threw him away for life
Yet they didn’t know
He has a destiny to realize
And destiny
Can never be imrpisioned
Or killed
But it must be fulfilled
On Robben Island he held on
Because he knew it wouldn’t be long
In Pollsmoor Prison he held on
Because he knew it wouldn’t be long
In Victor Verster he held on
Because he knew it would not be long
Apartheid thought they were rid of him
For life
Yet destiny sped up time
And life became 27 years
And when he emerged
He was stronger
And his passion was even greater
And he had Apartheid in his sights
And so
On that fateful day in 1994
Apartheid
Never saw it coming
When out of the shadows
The Prince arose armed with the ANC
Forcing the government
To dethrone Apartheid
And the Prince
Claimed the throne
That was denied him
And now he goes to rest
His days accomplished
Destiny fulfilled
His memory
Becomes
Legendary
R.I.P.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
