Koto Omar, Thanks & much appreciated on this special tribute. Stories I learnt about the great Madiba hinted that he was a great shepherd boy who said he enjoyed rearing the animals from behind, so in his leadership style, he loved doing the same thing.  This is a very nice poem and I enjoyed its lines.  Mawdo Demba, now leave my sleeves alone....go read this one! Best,Yero

Subject: [>-<] THE CATTLE IN THEIR ROWS(A Poem)
Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 21:16:58 +0000




                 THE CATTLE IN THEIR ROWS
 
In rows refine like nature
The cattle return from the fields
Their heads in a fine line
The rhythm of their feet baffling 
Everyone is kept in the rows
 
The cattle keep in their rows
 Following paths created by habit
The regular thumbing of feet
Moving to and from feeds
Keeping strictly to basic needs
 
The cattle remain in their rows
Rushing to their sheds
Cows with calves hurrying
Bulls pronouncing commands
All maintain natural roles
 
The cattle are in their rows
Herdsman protecting from behind
Dog moving up and down the rows
A splendor of dust on the horizon
Moving into security of sheds
 
The cattle in their rows
After feeding in the fields
Moving back to sheds
The majesty of their cohesion
Beauty of nature at work
