Remember Mandela
The rainbow nation
Not the same shape, not the same colors
But the clouds of the South Atlantic
Pass over the Cape and Stellenbosch
Arriving in our valley as the sun sets
Radiating a future
Neither black nor white
Is that truth in the sky?
Is there reconciliation on the ground?
Are we there yet, the children cry
Don’t know, the adults reply
But remember, politics do not control the sky
Franschhoek Valley, Western Cape, South Africa
