They watched, he never caved,
they tried, he smiled.
The fighter in his corner.
Robbed! Robbed! and Deceived.
Out for the count, they thought...
We counted, they watched, he waved , we cried.
The fighter now grey in grandeur, 27 the count.
Marvellous! Marvellous! Madiba!
The Undisputed Peoples Champ.
They watched, he never struck, they lied, he smiled.
To some, a life wasted.
Never! Never Again!
...A life robbed, living on Robben.
