Alhaad Hussain Poem
The sky was bright, clear and blue.
High up somewhere, the angels flew.
Sang the birds a melodious hymn.
But sat in a cage, the crownless king.
Wincing up sat the Eagle, gloomy was his mood.
There was meat in his cage, he did not eat the food.
His heart was in pain, he could feel it in the chest.
He wanted to soar high, but he was not free like the rest.
Today it was different, he was determined to get out.
He tried to bite off the bars, he cried out loud.
The bars wouldn't break, he tried biting harder.
Thus broke his beak, and so did his ardour.
He cried out loud, his heart was burning.
Hearing all this, came the owner running.
The owner laughed at the eagle, and opened his cage.
Cooled the eagle's anxiety, thus cooled his rage.
He saw the cage open, couldn't believe his eyes.
Once again he was free, he could again rule the skies.
He took the leap of faith, but fell down with a thud.
In this happiness he had forgotten, his wings had been cut.
