THROUGH MANDELA'S EYES (LONG WALK TO FREEDOM)
Of what essence is life when love is on demise? And of what gain is oxygen when our nostrils are unconscious? Somehow we have become unconscious Cuffed our minds with our own hands We live in a prison called HATE Constructed with iron bars of unforgiveness...
