by Timileyin Gabriel Olajuwon
I wake and heard the death of the legend
Believing is so hard
I shook my head in dismay
my mind turns sad
Let my pen sing the song of the lose of a great hero.
Let it bow to weep
And speak bitterness in words
let tears roll in my heart to produce ink of sorrow
O
The sun that should wipe our tears
Has faded with a rare hero
death has come
Madiba is gone
To the santuary of holy's
To return no more.
FAREWELL
To.- Nelson Mandela
