A Salute To Great Icon Nelson Mandela! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
A Salute To Great Icon Nelson Mandela!
No words can describe Great Icon and Freedom fighter
Father of Modern South Africa,
South Africa's first black President,
Anti-apartheid revolutionary,
Politician and Philanthropist
None other than Nelson Mandela.
Today, he lives in the heart of millions.
He was a Great Warrior;
He was imprisoned for as long as 27 years
For trying to stop racism.
For challenging apartheid policies.
He succeeded in eradicating apartheid policies.
His parents named him Rolihlahla
Nelson is the name given by his teacher.
Also known by clan name Madiba.
Awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
For peaceful termination of the apartheid policies,
Laying foundation for new democratic South Africa.
One of the Beautiful quotes by Nelson Mandela says it all.
'What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.'
He said it right
' Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again'
He led his continent to a new era! ! !
Nelson Mandela is a man of history!
(July 18,1918 - Dec 5,2013)
A tribute to Great Freedom Fighter Nelson Mandela.
May his Soul Rest In Peace!

your poem is really educative..speaks true on the greatest president of all times
Yes, one of the great sons of the world is no more! Of all the leaders, the world perhaps looks upon him with the highest regard! I believe that the three people the world holds high are Mahatma Gandiji, Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela....Their popularity affirms the fact that it is not one's colour, looks, riches or power that count, but the richness of one's personlity, the humanity in him and the unerring principles for which he stands that make the world bow before him! A great tribute Geetha with very inspirational quotes from Nelson Mandela! !
Nice tribute to Nelson Mandela. Please also read my poem Nelson Mandela which I wrote in September. Thank you.
