[bodytext] => The voice of South Africa! Cried out from the belly of oppression and was Answered with the roar of a young lion marking his territory, sharpening His claws on political endeavour, testosterone pumping through his veins As he fed on an anger, power, and he ran with rebellion and fought with Disaffection, till leaders of the pride bound him with their fear, caged him With their ignorance, tried to break him. Yet the voice of freedom and equality continued to roar through years of Hopelessness years of suffering, years of survival, and much more years of Honing, of shaping, of strengthening of Spirit, of wilderness, of preparation Of waiting for the time, of his time, to lead the pride. Of learning to lie down with the lamb From the confines emerged Penthera Leo, Wise, bold and ready for his Time,for his pride, a true leader with eyes of Love, Strength, and the Heavens smiled with his smile as he brought the warmth of dignity, of Unity. His eyes so bright, not of this world as they feel the call of Elijah’s Chariot waiting to take him home, his work is done, and the tears of the world As rose petals line the streets for his journey home, The World echos with, The Mighty Roar of Mandela!
