South African Diamond.

Nelson Mandela

Whether Black or White in the game,

Without discrimination, the rules of play is same.

You fought against apartheid and for social justice

And remained for 27 years as jail resident,

Ultimately to become first black

South African President.

A Diamond from Kimberly mines,

Sparkling world over with dazzle and shine.

Humble life with the honor of the world.

 With Nobel Peace Prize crowned,   

Called Mahatma of South Africa,

Awarded Bharat Ratan by India.

All equal, no slave and no ruler:

And you are history maker. 

In the dark black night,

You were the  full moon 
with shining silvery light.

You are no more,

but live in our heart for ever.

May your soul Rest In Peace.
