Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,

The laws of his country, the people in power, society, all of it conspired against his purposes and goals. He was imprisoned for decades, but still breathed fresh air, still kept his dreams and principles. He refused to be suffocated by societal concrete. He grew to become president of the very country that once rejected him.
