Nelson Mandela Poem by Ranil Gunawardena

Nelson Mandela
The Immortal Icon
A reason for people
To live like human

The charismatic qualities
The breadth and the depth
The weight unseen
Could bring a building down... if seen

Leaving the past behind
Fresh walk! to the future
Only a man can do
With an unbelievable caliber

Like a huge magnet
Like the one inside a black hole
Drew whoever who came towards him
To make him cannot leave him

Such a great space in the universe
In the form of a simple man
The Immortal Icon
Nelson Mandela
