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
