The global hero celebrated out of prison.
I see
The Peace Nobel Laureate.
I see
The global nationalist.
I see
The man sung in all tongues.
I see
The lettered man.
I see
The man who heard the loudest ovation and departs.
I see
The man who stood for liberation.
I see
The man driven by conviction.
I see
A man upright from his beam till eternal dim.
I see
The father of new South Africa.
I see
His celebrated life.
I see
His celebrated death.
I see
The relevant man across generations.
