Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Invictus

Bind my hands
Shackle my feet
Rain lashes on my body
Prick, prod, impale and crucify
You can impound my freedom
You can bludgeon me bloody...

Still, I stand tall
Proud, unbowed,
My spirit is yet free
I am yet, the master of my soul!


(Inspired by W.E. Henley's Invictus)
