I wish I could live like a free bird
Not a scavenging vulture, and edible not
Not a village eagle who robs mother hen
Not a irritating parrot who echos my actions
Just a free bird
Unlike a proud ostrich
or tick leaking egrets
Just a free bird
So that I can fly fearless of darkness
Or of the light…
Or of the thickness of a haunting forest
Or of the wicked hunter,
Or of the hunger and hounds of state boundaries
Or of anger, hatred and discrimination
Or of my color and barrenness of an identity
Or of political gimmickry and violence
Just a free bird
So that I can swim,
Fly and relax,
Close my eyes and sniff love
Or the cooling breeze from the quiet waters of tolerance
A lovely and a colorful beautiful bird with no face
And this Is my wish for a free living!
