Thank you for sharing this great poem, Chinedu. This historical event will be imbibed in every reader's mind the people's sacrifices to attain freedom.

A very inspiring, informative and wonderful poem. We can feel the happiness of the people in the attainment of democracy, the freedom they have been longing for a long period of time.

A historical and memorable moment. Indeed, the birth of democracy is sacred and must be cherished by the people.It is the foundation of life. A great and powerful poem is always a treasure.

A well crafted poem so brilliantly executed.

There will always be a time for the people to seek freedom and ride in the wings of democracy, come or high water. The sanctity of the ballot if guarded thoroughly and patiently is the best democratic way to attain freedom.

A sincere political commentary beautifully crafted into poetic lines.

A vivid depiction of attaining democracy. Yes, we fight for democracy to enjoy wonders of existence.

A magnificent poem brilliantly woven and presented.

Nelson Mandela was and will always be remarkable and an inspiration for me. I enjoy the tribute that you have written for him.

The poem is so powerful and inspiring. I feel the struggle in South Africa and pray that humanity lives and grows with brotherhood and peace. Very well penned.

A powerful and inspiring write. Yes, the ballot box is the receptacle of liberty. A sacred tool to determine the popular will. The embodiment of the rights and hearts of the people. An excellent write brilliantly conveyed and crafted. Very informative.

In 1994, true democracy came to South Africa when apartheid ended. The ANC prevailed at the ballot box-where it counts.

a well penned eulogy to south africa and Mandela and very well explained in your notes - thanks for sharing

The poem highlights the power of democracy with acute sharpness. Tells us how apartheid was thrown to winds by the people. In South Africa. But it is a pity that apartheid is still alive and kicking in many minds. Please take time to read my poem, “Mother of Emmet Till”, along with the poet’s Note on it.

A great poem! My pleasure revisiting this magnificent piece of work!

Bearing the scars of Apartheid, Indigenous people celebrate the birth of Democracy. Ballot box had come at a great expense; At all costs, its sacredness shall be preserved. Those were the surviving heroes and heroines of Mzansi.......touching expression. Beautiful poem is amazingly shared. TFS.

Singly, the weapons were discharged Into The Receptacle Of Liberty; Upon which they received baptisms of Freedom. Inside the altar, tugs of war ensued: Invisible fibres bound and aligned aspirations....Love the imagery

Very strong and right to the point I like your style and what you stand for

" receptacle of liberty" beautiful words. I will remember that every time I vote. Your poems bring to light tragedies and victories the way no news blub ever could. Keep writing and sharing.

Very beautiful poem dear poet
