The Message

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Nelson Mandela is free - a hero with a mission, like Ghandi. A message of peace and freedom, tolerance and unification. While zealots can rationalize cruel acts of terror, men of conscience speak but the world does not listen. Doomed in the end to suffer and repeat again past pain, eternal vigilance cannot suffice with blood of innocents the price. 10/29/2001 Written October 26th, 2001 © on Oct 29 2001 08:24 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    10 • 0
