test of Freedom

the famed violinist
watches, waits, plays
he wouldn’t make a thousand dollars
in a hundred days
only nods and nickels
at a time;
from girls and boys amazed
yet never a being of age
even gazed
upon his gift
and a test of age
we begin and end Free;
yet a fraction of our nation
lives life in a cage
