A Jailbird Cry

A Jailbird Cry” Have you ever heard a jailbird cry Its outer body is alive but its inner soul has died In several attempts it try to resuscitate its life It tries and tries But its heartbeat is faint and it no longer thrives to stay alive Agony is dressed all over its face Life had been misplaced by its human mistakes Mental notions of wishing to retrace those past dates But its way to late So the jailbird simmer in the heat of what has been placed on its plate Most just like to debate But there is a few that can relate of how it got caged inside those gates There is no sweet sound only frowns crying out sorrow Pushing through the calendar days in hopes of a brighter tomorrow Swallowing its grief to combat the undefeat of confinement Digesting all of its wrongs Never crying the jailbird hums Its liberating jailbird song Have you ever heard a jailbird cry It tries and tries but its soul just wont abide
