Excellent Bars removed but still imprisoned. Wonder : Freedom by Michelle D. Carr Minute Poetry Contest contest entry

Louie Lion paced in a cage. He feels his rage. Twelve by ten feet, on hard concrete.   Longed to run and play in freedom in his kingdom. Twelve by ten feet no friends to meet.   Rescued and released one bright day to run and play. Twelve by ten feet he must repeat. Author Notes This is based on the true story of a lion who was caged since birth and was released years later into a protective area where he could run and roam over many acres. Instead, he paced a piece of land which was the exact measurement of his former cage. Release from the cage was not complete freedom.
