The signs above say:
“Feed not the caged doves.”
Fight the cage,
for their choice of freedom.
For if you have a heart that loves,
song of a caged bird will break it.

It might surprise you,
That your bird will despise you.
Both cage and you will together fall.
As you lie their battered, gasping your last few,
Your eyes shutting upon the sky, bright and blue,
She flies across them in freedom,
singing you gloriously to Elysium.
