The Caged Bird Poem by Jose Chavez

This bird was once caged
It has come out with rage
Ready to implore good on the world

He has seen with his eyes
The lies and the cries
Of the evil being swirled

Held to no control
As his liberty they stole
All he had was his thoughts

Fighting to be freed
To get rid of the greed
For there is lessons to be taught

Now out in space
He is ready to erase
The cruelty of man

But he didn’t know
The world was this cold
Nobody cared for his plan

He then realized
In a cage or in the sky
The world didn’t want change

They ignored his screams
And erased his dreams
The goal fell out of range

Now in his mind
He considers the world blind
For being ignorant of time

People tend to wait
Then it gets too late
And out of your grave you can’t climb
