Caged Bird

Living livid, teeming yet timid
You smolder your own flames
Ranting raging, Scorn birds from cage sing
Beaks bellow from beyond the bars

Futile fury, no where with hurry
this useless vexful venting
Drama unending, soul not mending
 break so brittle while barely bending

Living loathsome, torrid yet tamed
You smolder your own flames
Weak war waging, from the cage sing
Beak bellows from beyond the bars
