Nelson Mandela

You were just a caterpillar crawling to your goals Introducing a legacy that the world wasn't quite ready for but quickly embraced In prison you had to make a cocoon in order to keep your dream alive Embedding your will into millions while simultaneously fighting personal ailments Coming out of that cocoon you became a majestic butterfly Opposed by thousands yet became leader of millions Getting revenge without firing a single bullet, patience was your virtual and freedom was your reward, the world has come together to mourn your death Just like a butterfly you must let Death envelope you with its silhouette and take you to a place of peace, you needn't suffer any longer, you have made a difference Rest without worry, for you have brought the world together with your resilience and unwavering sense of justice
