Nelson Mandela

 

I perceive
the shadow
of your
imprisoned
face
watching

eyes
peering
through
iron rods
that
cannot
contain
your
visions
of freedom

the force
of your
righteous
halo
frames
a
presence
of light

you are
a blazing
apparition
melting
the steel
cages
releasing
the world's
hostages
of justice
