“TAKE THIS AND FLY WITH IT” by Emsky
 

Do you know why
The caged bird sings?
Is it a hollow joy,
A misinformed happiness,
An illusion of serendipity,
A yearning for liberty like a funeral lament,
An anthem of defiance,
A scream of desperation,
A muted harmony of resignation?
Is it the voice that throttles your heart,
That subdues your soul
Even though it seeks to unleash it?
Is it the power of sound and air
That knows no boundaries,
That can exceed and overcome all bars
And boundaries,
A fragment of the soul gone wild?
Do you know why
The caged bird sings?
