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 -
