Lessons From Mandela

The beautiful ones are not yet born? At least I know some who are dead. We have just lost one! Mandela Madiba of Republic of South Africa. You African Leaders, And aspiring ones, What have you learnt from him? For he never gummed on power he fought for. You say you are irreplaceable You are experienced and unchangeable, You can fight, you are indomitable, But I can tell you, you are wrong - unable. Man should be different, Learning from his mistakes and others. If not then, what difference does he make? Its high time you changed your attitude. (c) Mwebesa Edson
