The story of a man that took the punishment and when out of it he was able to forgive his punisher ! Many more like Nelson Mandela and our world could be so different...If we could all be the captains of our souls.

This poem has kept me going during many hard times in my life... I am glad to see it honored in the voice of such a great man, Morgan Freeman; in tribute to another great man, Nelson Mandela.

@tolkilina However, AmeriKan politicians are worthless...that point is well taken.

@tolkilina Really? Clearly, you only know what the mainstream media wants you to know. You need to do some research, a lot of research.

If politicians were like Nelson Mandela, this would be a different world. Beautiful poem, and beautiful man.
