EDUCATION TEACHING OUR CHILDREN WHAT NO ONE KNEW YESTERDAY AND PREPARE OUR SCHOOL TO WHAT NO ONE KNOWS YET
EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO FUTURE
Nelson Mandela My Legendary Icon
There wasn’t action in freedom.
Home and away it was calamitous.
Tragedies rocked from domestic to national affairs.
Love failed and hope surfaced, 1964 was a peace construction year.
Nelson Mandela you are my Legendary Icon.
18 July then makes all 46664 freedom assurances.
July is a peace month and all born July are gifted in humility.
Your 12 June 1964 judgement was a dedication to the African child.
Dedication spiced with tranquility, courage and hard work.
We are happy for you our freedom wagon.
Stubborn mentalities still rob us the freedom cake.
You won the freedom cake for us it was your battle.
Battle fought more than once to table victory.
We pray this time for all who can learn and inherit.
We strive to get those who specialize in impossible face-to-face.
I smile when I assure myself you are my Legendary icon.
This day we breed peace, love, harmony tranquility in your 46664 roots.
Your love roots have vast space to accommodate us.
We deserve to salute you with both hands Madiba.
In all you do my dear, let not disorders disturb your body.
You are God-scheduled leader, we deny any medical imbalance my dear.
God watches and has been with you since 1918 and beyond.
As we grow we learn, you taught me to forgive.
Most drastic rational moments needs active freedom.
Love failure requires forgiveness to be able to carry on.
Xenophobia, injustice, divorce and challenges rocked lives.
Unemployment surfaced and freedom promised.
I am happy to share 48 hours of birth moments with you.
I am your twin, a day younger in calendar dates.
I am happy to be associated with a Legend in birthdays.
I am who I am and am happy alongside you.
I am 61 years and one day younger than you.
I am an African son of the soil.
I am a single Christian Son.
I am ancestral product.
What I am is a result of your 1964 decision.
I am a singer, dancer, drummer, writer,
Poet, director, boss, producer, analyst,
Psychologist, columnist, speaker, MC,
DJ, Business Consultant, Learner, Teacher
Talent hunter, black, out-of-love, patient,
Citizen, customer, victim, suspect, complainant,
Dreamer, Artist, Photographer, Video Producer, IT Doctor,
Sound Engineer, Events Manager, Journalist, Researcher,
Warrior, Child Shield, Abuse enemy, Crime Buster,
Designer, Printer, Advertising Agent, Marketing Consultant,
Location Manager, Stage Dresser, Typist, Coach,
Above all I ama 46664 kid.
It is because of you my Legendary Icon Madiba
I am an MK warrior, a Madiba day-old twin
I am a Madiba student and follower,
I am a giver of love to the vulnerable.
I am a black student of life for life.
I am an ex-prisoner of truth.
I am myself for I was created.
I value you my legendary icon.
From now on, peace be still in your pavements.
Peace be Mandela-painted.
Nelson Mandela you are my peace-cry museum.
Do not die now or ever we will perish.
Your existence is much more than you think.
11 February, 12 June, 18 July and 1941 are curved in stone.
I salute you with both hands my Legendary Icon, Your presents are here but no one stands to bring them.
Our day-to-day activities put you back in Victor Vestor.
Command respect and we will follow that.
I salute My Legendary icon, Teacher, Papa, Example, Politician, Father and Leader who took us to where he first went himself. LONG LIVE WAMI.
