The Saint and the Sinner.
When Mandela came out of jail and
was elevated to a living saint his wife
Winnie was relegated to a sinner.
For years the liberals had tried to make
this unwilling subject into a chaste
Madonna, but she is a free spirit that
loves and hates in equal measures
Now they shouted foul, smashed
the icon and exposed a lonely, fragile
human kind.
