My Poetry Book, Flickering Flame: Poetic Verses, has gone thru second proof reading. Those poems that are written after 1st December (two, so far) will not be included. Here is one to share with you all. Hope you will find this poem easy to read.


SALUTE TO NELSON MANDELA

In this world
We have too many greats and giants;
Some live but better dead;
They are dreaded, bled and evil spread;
Others are dead, but in our hearts, alive.
They fight for the deprived, justice survive.

In this world
Great confusion between the true and fake;
The reptile molted their skin, but still snake.
With no pretence, the true are just simple;
Against all domination, they are never racial.

In this world
We see a mix of praise and blame;
The fake played games, gained fame.
The wise are exemplary earthly saints;
Their work earned respect, no taints.

In this world
Vice and wise, hard to tell;
The vice swell and fell;
Wise, dwell in joy and well.
