The Sheltered
Birds of a feather
Cannot fly when tied to a tether.
But as the Cat scratches at the cage
The bird rejoiced to avoid the beast’s rage.
Sing, you lucky bird!
Let the world know how free you truly are.
Why is it that sometimes the bird
Who hasn’t heard
The worlds news
Always escapes the worlds blues.
Oh well. What can I say.
While you free birds play,
Us in the cage will watch and weep
As the beast tears you to pieces.
