The world would remember Mandela
he being a life-like Cinderella
who came from nowhere
saw the atrocities over there
fought for the rights of his men ever hard
imprisoned for years together in a ward
not giving up hope or cheer
exercising his rapport with no fear,
braving the ignominy and punishments
endured all with a smile and an adjustment
with his cause being in the forefront
strove for the uplifting of his people not for stunt
he being no fairy tale being like Cinderella
but made of blood and stuff was Mandela
like the imaginary figure who crossed all metes and bounds
becoming a Princess of great charm and fame as found
this legend emerged as a leader and a champion of the apartheid
getting their rights and freedom with a gusto and determination in a deal.
