The Nobel Peace Prize of 1993,
Was awarded to two men who went down in history,
Because together they dismantled the dreaded apartheid,
Even though they appeared to each be on a different side.
They fought to turn South Africa into a democratic state,
And end the bitter reprisals and vicious racial hate.
So Nelson Mandela, F.W de Clerk,
Thank you for this truly altruistic work.

Great poem with an even greater message within – and the like button is eluding me – if it doesn’t allow me to press it when I enter this comment, take this as a resounding like!! 🙂
Very happy that you like it!
We tend to forget that two men were involved. Thanks for reminding it to us!
They brokered peace together, people forget that!
