Rabindranath Tagore - Prisoner
Work rating: Medium

`Prisoner, tell me, who was it that bound you?` 

`It was my master,` said the prisoner. 
`I thought I could outdo everybody in the world in wealth and power, 
and I amassed in my own treasure-house the money due to my king. 
When sleep overcame me I lay upon the bed that was for my lord, 
and on waking up I found I was a prisoner in my own treasure-house.` 

`Prisoner, tell me, who was it that wrought this unbreakable chain?` 

`It was I,` said the prisoner, `who forged this chain very carefully. 
I thought my invincible power would hold the world captive 
leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. 
Thus night and day I worked at the chain 
with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. 
When at last the work was done 
and the links were complete and unbreakable, 
I found that it held me in its grip.`
