why do I cage you
When you were born free
Why do I cage you
When I was born free
Then laugh as you flutter in your little space
Confined with untold grace
How long would I last in your place
Trapped without reason
Just to tickle my fancy
Could I still sing every morn to greet the sun
Could my eyes still shine with such divine grace
Honestly
How long could I take your place
How long before my sanity took flight
Open this cage,come lets fly
Lets both enjoy life's open sky

Welcome
Welcome. I always feel sad for the animals in cages. Especially so when they are recently captured and fight with all their might. I like the sanity taking flight line.
Great idea a compassionate feeling for those trapped I really enjoyed thanks for sharing.
Much thanks,just trying to express the peace within, peace out
Thank you, I'm equally passionate about caged animals
Before I read your description I assumed this was a love poem. It works equally well either way, but knowing it is actually about caged birds gave it an extra edge of sweetness and tenderness.
Very nice!
Thank you, just trying to capture that sense of freedom
