Earlier, I used to worship God
Later I only prayed to him
Thereafter I began only
To wish him well
Now I just say hello
As I came to know
I am & was nothing
But just a hello
To this world
From Him.

Masquerading as a prisoner lonesome
there in the confine of Robben island
in guise lived a magician
who played tricks with
word's connotation
violated their limitation
he stretched to boundlessness
the boundary of 'hope'
further deepened the deep
depth of 'determination'
lifted 'belief' so high
to the heaven's nearby
he also boxed
the ears of 'apartheid'
he did a deed splendid
though Mandrake was not
alas, his name but
just Mandela nevertheless
