“If many opportunists are using Mandela’s name, during his lifetime, what more will happen when Madiba lives us to heaven. Surely he will have more spokespersons who would be saying that Mandela said: “1, 2, and 3… to me during our conversation on 1, 2, 3…” This is the danger that we must avoid right now.” Extract from the book titled: WRITING HAPHAZARDLY: The skeleton of my long walk to the freedom of truth!

Amina Mohammed

Papa

Patriotism
drained you

Your youth to all as sacrifice for
freedom

I have seen you so many times
through the eyes of others

I know all you have done through
eyes of others

As perfect as a human can be

Once strong in spirit , now your
strength lies in your achievement

I
acknowledge your exemplary life

I acknowledge life beyond one’s
self

I respect
your legacy

As perfect as a human can be

Father to
your nation

Father to mine and the world

You fed your world with your
strength

Our
happiness forever shaped by it

For once you sacrificed all

The world
is proud of you

Life as
God must have meant it to be

A meaningful journey we admire

A
meaningful life well spent

For once you sacrificed all

Lessons
learnt by deed of note

Lessons not
by mouth related

They will write, they will talk

For once
you sacrificed all
As perfect as a human can be.
