Mandela
Troubled times
Apartheid South Africa
Jim Crow's Crazy Cousin
Fight for rights
Fails. Ends in
Jail
Sentence
Brilliance silenced
Life Imprisonment &
Tears
End of story?
No
I think a new beginning
Marvin Gaye said it best...
Sometimes a heart beats to songs of freedom.
So
History books
Read.
Captors
Analyzed.
What makes a man do what he does?
There is a reason. Find it and a season of
Understanding dawns
Afrikaans once the enemy become
Something else
Something more like
Human
But uh how...
A kaleidoscope of colors
Like faces dancing together in the sun
Red & yellow
White & black & beautiful
People
Arise
Truth whispers
Only love can conquer hate
Only love can conquer
Only love can
Only love
Love
Love
LOVE
Once the change
Completed inside
The change outside began
The crawling caterpillar spread her wings
And the consequences were felt around the globe
African butterflies everywhere
You too can spread wings
& Fly
& Fly
