Mandela,
Witnessing February 11th, 1990
Eradicate bigotry's restraints
Aroused the belief-endowed.
Among our pleas,
A wish for a ballot empowered
With your name was what
Our assaulted views wanted.
Mandela,
Those who are still famished for liberation
Perceive you as racial nutrition.
Because you uprooted the venom-polluted,
Flowers of respect sprouted
With the wisdom you gifted,
Mandela.
