If Mandela remained in prison
Ceteris paribus, by law,
He would die a prescribed terrorist
And not as the global icon we know.
The guy who mourned his son behind bars,
As the law by fiat did dictate,
He is the very Mandela the world reveres,
The villain-turned hero who lies in state.
Those who stand upright with truth,
Virtue rules, sooner or later they earn;
A lesson to the future,
To those who want to learn.
