The Poem: Madiba

You wrote a dream on the walls

believing one day the walls will speak.

( Lethabo )

If those walls could speak,

Imagine what would thay say?

( Tanya )

Years in the prison for opposing apartheid,insulated by the insolence of lies,

freedom doesnt take offence,unmoves its feeble defies and struggle never dies

( Hashim Bashir )

Was it the courage or vision that eliminated the curtains of apartheid

or dissolving of colours that rebuild africa

( Hashim Bashir )

Madiba, you instill hope into the minds of poor and oppressed; to resist and to fight

for the right, the cause of freedom against all odds of oppression.

( Majid Marazi )

Be the peace you seek, be the love you want.

That is what you taught us, O Madiba.

( Kagiso )

Your belief was stronger than the storm outside.

The winds surrendered, as you sailed through the ugly tempest.

( Funani )

You stood tall against all oppressors

And embraced misery for the love of all.

( Joseph )

Only through freedom can peace prevail

Liberation is the only solution

( Phila )

It was once so hard to see, the world beyond slavery

Those lies seemed so real, so close to reality.

( Bafana )
