Madela-Day; What have you learned from Madiba..

kareem Itunu Azeez

When i talk of Madiba,  i remind my brothers
I remind my sisters,  of the blood,  and sweat
Of them whos sacrifice reunite us..

When i talk of Mandela,  i request to know
If his suffering still lingers on in our hearts
I seek to know,  if his yearn for love still burns

When i talk of Nelson, i task his successor if they maintain his legacy, 
His long walk to freedom.....

When i talk of Mandela,  i talk of those graves, lost through apartheid, i talk of those people who can't afford knowledge however free it is, 
About why we should be one!!!

When i talk of Madiba,  i remember Azikiwe, i remember,  Thomas Sankara,  i remember Nkrumah,  i remember the times of Agostinho Neto,  and those who fought the war but never see the end..

When i talk of Mandela,  i talk of you,  i remind you of a course of which our struggles are borne; a course of which we should be prepared to die for...

Hail Nelson Mandel.....
