(Un)caged bird

born with freedom
raised on a farm
learned things aplenty

had seen a cage of birds

curse my curiosity 
amazed by the amenities
attracted to the confined freedom
joined those jailed flock

(days flew past)

got friends - enjoyed the stay
interest got thinned
started dreaming of forest
heard the call and took off

heart longs for the flock
mind longs for the freedom
divided I am
still ... soaring in the sky by myself

so long brothers ....
