Halala Madiba : Hail Mandela
By P E  Adotey Addo.. 2007

He suffered  like a caged bird.
Released.
Flew over and soared
Breaking the chains.
Now we know the rest.
Halala Madiba.
Rev P E Adotey Addo..2007

Seems like the caged bird metaphor abounds in Black Literature, I am talking with reference to Maya Angelou as well...
Really nice....
