He walked out




He walked out of the jail
his face worn and frail
Now he stood there silent
watching the slideshow unveil

He pondered over his life
ruminating about things found and lost
A doctor turned traitor, he thought
As his eyes got smeared with moist

He freed people off fears
now he fears for his own life
He fought for peoples' rights
until law stripped his own civil rights

Today as he stands outside the gate
amidst cheering people of his own land
he knows all is not lost yet and
this is surely not the end.

Very nice...especially this,
shows an undying optimism -
"he knows all is not lost yet and
this is surely not the end."
