The Bird In The Cage (Homage to Maya)

The bird that sits in the cage

waste its life.

The bird that sits in the cage

watches time fly by.

The bird that sits in the cage

waits for food.

The bird that sits in the cage

sings a song,

sometimes

The bird in the cage

would you let it free?

To spread its wings?

Fly around?

Just act like a bird?

If no,

then the bird that sits in the cage

wastes its life,

not being able to be

free.
