A cage bird with no voice,
one without choice.
Tattered and beaten,
treated like a cretin.
Whose captors give eternal torment,
used so they can vent.
Trapped in the dark behind cold bars,
as he dreas about the stars.
A caged bird without a word,
because freedom is absurd.
Such a sad last line...like he's given up. I'm sure many can relate to that.
