A clever little bird
learned to sing a song of hope
so they set for it a trap
and caught it with a rope
then stuck it in a cage
to hear the song it sings
but it never sang no more
of the hope that freedom brings.

This is quite nice. Reminds me of Langston Hues.
Thank you Nicholas.
Aww, this was beautiful and sad. We shouldn’t cage things just because they are pretty or sing a pretty song. So true. Thanks for sharing, I loved the brevity of this.
Many thanks KRWonder.
