Caged Birds
The yearning for freedom
Runs through our veins
Like Dr. Angelou said
The caged bird sings
Because he yearns
To taste the freedom
The free bird
Takes for granted
The free bird watches
From the comfort of his nest
Unsure why the caged bird sings
Because he won't acknowledge the bars
The caged bird is at the whims
Of those who claim to love him
While the free bird can soar
And feast as he pleases
Us free birds need to hear
The complaints of our caged brethren
And do what we can to let them free
