Bird Liberty

Bird liberty A bird flies toward her two friends resting on a tree, They are so glad to see her, It is quite long since we have seen you, they said Yes, I flew off a cage a few minute ago I have been trapped for weeks Some men are so cruel They don’t consider we are all creations, I went a farm to fed my belly, there I was trap They took me home for rearing They fed me once a day They hung my cage on a branch of tree From morning till evening They returned at work Instead them to feeding me as they return They would play with me for a while Before morning my bones would be weary, trembling like a day owlet a boy came to my cage this evening in fact he was my angel, he mistakenly opened the cage, that was I how I flew off the cage I got my liberty back

G'day Afolabi... inspiring write about what freedom means to any form of life. I once held aviary birds, but never again. There is nothing worth more in life than freedom - thank you Afolabi - Lindsay
