Cages
In Life we were free
As free as Birds
We could fly around and do as we please
We could touch the skies and walk on moons
We held Life in our hands
And cherished it until the ends
Now a fatal virus flows through our lives
It knocks over all possibilities in Life
It crushes our hopes and dreams
It destroys the values of Life
Now we struggle to fly towards Freedom
We are like Birds in Cages
Locked away from Life behind bars
Fed only Fear instead of Hope
Dreaming only of Death instead of Life
We are like Birds in Cages
