Caged bird By Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.
