Outside

A fish in tank, still moves it's fins, and swims at the very edge of safety, but why?
A Bird in Cage, still flaps its wings, and pokes its beak, and sees the blue blue sky, but why?
A Child in Womb, kicks and kicks so to get out of the warm safe heaven true, but why?
A Fish will be meat to other big fish, and birds find worms to eat, and cats to defeat.
A Child will maybe rise, only to find, about Humanity, the Human lies.
