Life is not a dream for everyone, it's a nightmare for many. When the best you can do is keep waiting and hoping for things to turn okay, which seldom happens; God at least grants you your fair share of strength to cope with life's injustices. The subject, although a free man, can hardly be called so, as the manacles of destitution, neglect and hunger bind him tightly. He has no escape, yet it's the triumph of human spirit that you accept it, find a way out and live to be a PORTRAIT OF STRENGTH.
