Two great men, one rose from the ashes of his country.
Another relit candles in tribute to a dream
It wasn’t fair that the racists were all they could see.
He wanted fairness, no compromise nor in between.

An African underdog that inspired many lives.
While many of his black brothers were in jail, his words spoke for them.
He tried to rebuild his people’s legacy, in his time.
Before he even said a work, the KKK had him condemned.

Mandela, a hero to his following.
A warrior whose words fought for peace.
His words made him as mighty as a king.
Martin Luther he died for his dream.

My personal fave line. Excellent job, I think you did a really nice tribute... GOOD JOB!

Chipping a heart only makes it easier to see the light inside.
