Caged Bird

Look at the caged bird's plight Look how the bars restrict flight One may say the cage is for protection It's a way to portray affection After all, during the dark night He may become, a hunter's delight But one asks in self introspection Is the bird treated like an infection? What is the life of the caged bird? Is it better than its life deferred? Is freedom not a need of life? Is it truly a dual edged knife? But who asks the bird who is chained The one whose life is constrained But we must ask the one's with the key Where is our cage! Can we foresee?
