The Nation Builder (Remembering South African President Nelson Mandela, July 18,1918-July 18,2016) Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

The Nation Builder (Remembering South African President Nelson Mandela, July 18,1918-July 18,2016)



N-ation builder as he was
E-lected first South African president;
L-ong walk to freedom he wrote,
S-truggling against apartheid movement.
O-nce, he was regarded as terrorist, he spent twenty-seven years in prison;
N-one else but he alone who truly braved the horizon.

M-an of good leadership,
A-ll he did was free his country from cry;
N-ew dawn broke and smiled,
D-ay eighteen in warm July.
E-levated and recognized politically,
L-ife of him was fraught with struggle;
A-ctivist, lawyer and philanthropist, he was the nation builder.
