Nobel Peace Award 1993

Nelson Mandela
 
From some distance and nearby
resembling Obama's attitude of speech
looking on slightly over the audience
unto an undefined point but ahead
 
Of time and civilization
glittering black tells in gray
the history of his era--
‘The struggle is my life’
 
The head is made of modest black
that changes into moss green
when smoothness of geometry
is giving in to human surface
 
Though this time it are not algae
like on Stonehenge stones
but sfumato of sculpture
displaying texture of matter
 
After absorbing earthly elements
such as fire water earth air
finishing the facial features
and looks beyond artistic design
 
Intangible ideals become materialized
like nature adds humane face
to unpredictable future
of man and kind.
