Caged

A bird singing in a tree

what’s it like to be free?

Do you worry or despair

or are you happy beyond compare?

 

A dog barks in the night

what has given you such fright?

Is it a stranger that you fear

or is it someone you hold dear.

 

A child crying in a cage

what has brought you to this stage?

Days and nights without rest

with parents doing what they thought best.
