The Bird in the Cage

Trapped like a bird in a cage

Never to be freed.

Longing to spread its wings and fly

But afraid to fly somewhere.

May be the little bird 

Try to blame us-

" How can you enslave me?

When I was born for the open sky".

How can we trapped her 

In a gilded cage

Where she cannot fly.

Jumps here to there and

Hitting against the cage sides.

Nothing can be crueller,

Then holding someone's freedom. 

No one was born to be in bondage,

None of God's creation.

Neither human, nor animal, 

Or even an entire nation.

Freedom is our birth right,

And of every creature.

So, take a lesson and set her free,

To her boundless kingdom.
