First, pull the edges
make sure it meets the corner
in a form of triangle
in the shape of the society.
Then on one end,
steal those diamonds
from the chained lives
of women and children in Africa.
You'll have two seperate pillars
Like that of Athens and Sparta
always in fighting, in useless war
disregarding the bind of Greece totally.
Fold it again, and again,
and the head, and the tail,
Yes, the tail, it must be slanted
Pull it, pull it, the wings
Mend it so it would fly.
Because no matter how beautiful your cage is
A bird is meant to taste
only the sky.
