Tribute and memories of our icon and legend Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

His inspired given name, “N.E.L.S.O.N.   M.A.N.D.E.L.A.” was so meaningful and significant to the world-being and at large globally:-

Composed and written by:- Rev. Surujlall Motilall of Roosendaal, the Netherlands:-

No one is so worthy to talk and to walk in his life,
Enmity and enemies were not there for him to strife.
Love, peace and harmony he has had for the world,
Simplicity, modesty and prudence was his to uphold.
Onward on the march he has gestured in his dance,
Noble, humble and intelligence, he was not a dunce.

Memories are here of such for us to remember,
An icon who was loved by the world’s power,
Nelson Mandela a legend who was so admired,
Dearest to us while he was among as a father,
Eternal life in God’s throne awaits him forever,
Long life to his departed soul as he encounters,
Abides now in the likeness of God as his savior.

Tributes and memories of the late President Nelson Mandela:

Noble price winner, the disciple of peace, love and harmony,
Everyone, everywhere globally mourns with sacred ceremony.
Liberating his people from an apartheid, solacing dual dignity.
Solemnity and solitude, peace and hopes to fellow humanity,
Out of every nations sang such Gospels with sacred simplicity.
Nelson Mandela, long life and thanks for awakening our world.

Many nations around this world have looked with transparency,
A man with dignity, modesty & integrity who upheld democracy.
Nations upon global nations whom have consolidated normalcy,
Dedicated in their vows as nations to emulate direct diplomacy,
Energy as mind-blowers and courage with strength were of him in likeness,
As he acknowledged himself as a servant of the world to serve in justness.

Nelson Mandela, is our true and beloved Nationalistic comforter:

Nationalistic comforter, the late Mandela was thrown into prison,
Everyone globally said that such was without a positive/no reason.
Liberating his people from apartheid, he was charged with treason,
South-Africa was inhumane and dictated without dry & wet seasons.
Offensive brutality to humanity, anti-social and immorality led to suppression,
Nelson Mandela, was our “living human’s sacrifice”, not for himself to reason.

Meek and humble, Nelson R. Mandela was led as a sheep to the slaughter,
Applauded with mockery, his apartheid rivals were merrying with slander.
No! he never said or any plea but willingly and ready to die for his nation,
Death I am prepared myself for, he echoed to his followers in one motion.
Every one of you, oh! fellow citizens would be freed after 27-coming years,
Labouring as one in unity, we shall prevail and endure to the end of my days.
Africa as a continent of ours, must be freed from dictatorships in many ways.

Nelson Mandela’s speech after being released from prison:

Nation, we have now eliminated and conquered apartheid in our country,
Every one of us in our continent are free, we are being liberated to victory.
Liberation from apartheid & dictatorship, after my 27-years of incarceration,
States-men & women of our A N C, can now begin to govern our free nation.
Oppression, suppression, exploitation; our country is now a united nation,
No more inhumane, injustice, political unrest, we are now a new creation.

Memories, are there to be remembered of 27-years living behind jailed-bars,
As decent fellow human beings, it is not so easily to forget all my bodily scars,
Dreaded times and moments, I have had in my lonely cells for 27-long years,
Energies and strengths in my life time in jail, I have had not but I did not cried,
Lifting both of my arms in submission or surrendered, I DID NOT EITHER TO DIE,
Alive and well-being with bodily and mental strength, ready to fight another day.

Freedom of Nelson Mandela, “my personal ICON” and the legend of the world:

News have blasted, echoed and amplified around the world that I am a free man,
Everywhere, everyone around our globe, celebrated my freedom as simply as can,
Love, peace, happiness, marrying, have lifted above the atmosphere as their fan,
Simply, the world can see that I am here to be a freedom fighter for my birth land,
Onward to the march songs were sung, rallies all over, shekels were off my hands,
Now I am free, oh! yes, I am a free man, walking straight upright , abreast as I can.

Mandela was a free man from prison, where he was dumped without a proper reason,
Appraising and forgiving his prison dictators, giving to them his justice as a life season.
Notwithstanding, he was destined to be so humble, sincere, kind, modest as a prisoner,
Dearest to all the world at large, who had jailed and who has loved him, as their admirer.
Everlasting life, he would have duly given to his oppressors, only if was our Almighty God,
Love, peace, prosperity and good-will, he has blessed his jailer with, as he was so ….good.
Almighty God!, he always sought firstly in his spiritual and sacred prayers, as he so bowed.
