Bird in a cage

A bird in a cage.
Its feathers are
plucked away.
A few, each day.

The bird gets
depressed.
Every day it sings
a little less.

With every feather
plucked it changes
its song notes
to a cry for hope,
for freedom,
for an open door.

It sounds like
a sad song.
Let the bird go,
before it stops
singing once and
for all.

Let the bird fly,
fly up high.
It may reach
the stars.

Let the bird
sing a new song
by opening the cage
and letting it go.

Tugs at the heartstrings this one, so sad, could mean so many things or people that your poetry applies to...making a sad face right now. Everyone, especially birds should be allowed to fly & sing. Nice one Leandro.

[Frieda P]
