Ah! Rolihlahla is the third poem in a trilogy of mini-epic poems. It is a lyrical tribute to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela celebrating his courage, wisdom and vision.The Nigger Knees Dancer - the first poem - is a poetic yet brutal (the images within the poem are horrific) look at the 1906 Atlanta Riots with a moment of hope and redemption at the end. A performance excerpt from the 2nd poem Katrina The Pure can be viewed here.
