The Cage
Slowly
Very slowly
Fall a white feather
Against the weight of earth
On the ground covered in dirt
It lands there
To be seen
By the blue eyes
To be hold
By a bare hand .
Who to blame?
Between the steels of confinement
There is a lonely bird
First day, sounds of flapping
Heard everywhere in the huge cage
Days passed by
Even wings are still there
But they were erased
From the memories
Of the lonely bird.
They gave it
Food, water
Freedom ?
They forgot to give it
Or did the black cloth of greediness
Tied up their both eyes ?
Set me free
Set me free
The lonely bird couldn't say
Sometimes it rains
Sometimes it shines
Yet everywhen
it's like a strand of string
Chain up all it's vigour
All it could do
Watching other wings
Being outspread wide
In the hurricane
New desire born
In the lonely bird
Every evenfall,it prays
And prays to its' Creator
Beg for freedom
It will be your final moment
Once you step out
The Creator said
I want peacefulness filled up
In my remaining days
It replied
A day lives with peacefulness
The way too greater
Than a thousand days
Live with endless sorrowness
One unexpected day
A long craved wish
To be granted
To the lonely bird
The steel cage did eat all it's hope
Now, the black steel engulfed
In orange, red, brown rust
Waiting to be wear down
Will the lonely bird
Fly free from
It's trap
With the last breath
To fly high
High till the unreachable sky
Like others?
