Caged Lion
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Caged Lion
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: June/1986
He raised his head above the
cell from which he had been
caged for many years -
Out beyond the locks, and
chains, shuffling visions of
freedom waltzed before his
ageing frown, and vacant
stare -
To him, it seemed that hope
whistled between the bars, only
to die inside his heart -
But, the lion inside him
roared! and would never stop
fighting to be free, from the
cage with black steel bars -
