Mandela

He is an inspiration to the world.
He sacrificed his life for freedom.
He was a man who stood for peoples rights.
Some cried like tomorrow will be lost and some celebrated all night long.
He was a soldier with a heart of gold.
He was a man with a dream but his day has come to an end.
He fought for hope and freedom.
The world will soon be full of tears.
The world will pass now as it comes to an end.
Now we will have to sacrifice ourselves for freedom.
Thank you Mandela. You are our human sacrifice.
We all send our spirits to you.
You stood up for our rights.
Thank you.
