Sense Sonnet - Acher

Bo and Nelson Mandela

The Prez came in and said to me,
"Bo, Nelson Mandela has died."
"From us and to the ages be."
The Prez looked very sad and sighed,
"Nelson Mandela's life inspired"
"My own life, when I felt through him."
"Humanity could be aspired"
"To overcome whatever grim."
The Prez left me and went to say
This to the world through instant news.
Nelson Mandela died today,
But his legacy - let's not lose.

Humankind can grow into good.
Nelson Mandela proved one could.
