The Man In a Cage
That man in a cage,
His vision could touch the sky.
Day and night could not compete,
As his mission covered distance.
Still in that cage,
His thoughts were so deep.
Deep enough to drown an ocean,
But he is drowning in his dreams.
He knows he is in a cage,
As everyday offered no help.
Yet his hope did not mind his age,
So a new day was his target.
In his cage, he loves a song,
"Hope for a better tomorrow".
So it remains his best song,
Even though he is in a cage.
The cage is himself,
And the vision is Happiness.
Who is that man in a cage?
You and I.
