The Slave's Dream
A firebrand, a rest skill and prudent speech: In memory of Dr Nelson Mandela
Did you know? In the early 50's Robben Island was used as Dutch settlement
Beside the ungathered rice the lay...
His sickle in his hands; breast was bare his matted hair was buried in the sand.
Again in the mist and shadow of skep.
He saw his Native land wide through the landscape of his dreams.
The Lordly Niger flowed, beneath the palm of his trees on the plain.
Once more a King he strode; and heard the tinkling caravans descend the mountain road.
He saw once more his dark eyed queen...
Among her children stand; they clasped his neck, they kissed his cheeks...
They held him by the hand!-
A tear burst from the sleepers lids,
And fell into the sand.
And then at furious speed he rode.
Along the Niger's bank...
His bridle reins were golden chains, with a material clank,
At each leap he could feel his scab bard of steel, miting his stallion flank.
Before him, like blood red frog, the bright flamingoes flew; from morn till night he followed their flight.
O'er plains where the tamarind grew, till he saw the roots of Caffre huts...
And the oceans rose to view.
