 zzzzzzzzzz.....

Trapped in a cage

Pondering in rage

The freedom it longs for

The freedom it looks for

It plans to escape

But its conscience awakes

It’s tortured all night

With chains controlling its might

The heart is strangled with fire

The mind is lost in desire

A light far away shines dimly

It’s the only hope precariously

Soon the sun shines outside the enclosed room

The bird chirps outside the dark room

Voice fails to escape the stitched lips

As the throat craves for a few sips

Trapped in a cage

Pondering in rage

The freedom it longs for

The freedom it looks for

It plans to escape

But its conscience awakes

Confused for what its made for

Bewildered for what it longs for

For outsiders it=lush green mellows

But inside it burns up in smokes

It  wants no sympathy

But only a little empathy

As life gives some jolts galore

Dropping the burnt ashes to the floor

It waits for someone to butt it away

So that it goes far away

To end the pain in the cell

To die under the pastor’s bell

Then he wakes to the alarm bell

To end a life of dreams trapped in cage

The freedom it longs for

The freedom it looks for

It plans to escape

But its conscience awakes
