The Cage and the Bird!
When my mind wants to stretch as high as the sky
and my soul would move in as deep as an ocean,
When my voice needs to reverberate earth's every nook and corner;
and my body longs for a space to breathe my life out,
Oh Mankind! Why did you imprison me?
into that clusters of tradition I didn't choose for,
into those chains of men I didn't opt for,
into the god-forbidden civilization I didn't ask for
and into the clutches of death I didn't seek for.
amidst domesticated minds is Me, the caged bird
waiting for the vault to open and the closet to collapse for I know,
Strangulated souls will be liberated by death! -
the death of narrow-mindedness!
