In a cage
Struggling
To get out
Helpless
Blind to the fact
A Bird
Without his mind
Outside
Would not survive
To and fro
He flew
Looking
At the blue sky
Looking
For the light
Not noticing
The deadly grounds
With all its hounds
He had heard
Once
About the outside
About freedom
About the past
He fought
To reach out
To reach
That promised light
Suddenly
The door opened wide
With all his might
He was a-flight
Singing
Playing
for nights
Swaying
Left and right
To and fro
He flew
Searching
For the light
Searching
For that freedom
Searching
For a dream
For his past
Alas
He did not last
A brid
Outside
Alone
For long
A-cast
Will not
Can not
Survive











Why wouldn’t he last? Being on his own for too long?
