27 years in prison: A Tribute to Nelson Mandela

27 years of embarrassment and persecution

Years that tested the human grit in an unprecedented way

Years when a human soul was longing for company

Years when apartheid tried to smother a spark of revolution

Years when that spark transformed into a raging fire

A fire that originated in a prison cell

But spread across the world

Years in which a human body was emaciated

But years in which a man’s stature grew taller and taller

Nelson Mandela was sent to the prison to learn a lesson:

‘Don’t mess with apartheid”

Nelson Mandela emerged from the prison to teach different lessons”:

“Humanity is much bigger than apartheid”

“No battle is too big for a great human soul”

“Color of skin cannot divide humanity”

Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela!

For you made the world a better place to live.
