Caged- for Nelson Mandela


                                                           27 years a man was caged 
                            for being right, black in his skin,
placed behind an iron box.
                        They took his light and 
                                    his reflections,
                                              he refused to give up
his heart, his mind.
                         Firm, unwavering, optimistic.
                                           He made it out in time...
                                                     How long are you willing to be

                         Caged?
