Chained N Caged Poem by Eswar Anandan

Chained N Caged



Insects swarming in hundreds
Birds chasing each other
Followed by a gliding eagle
Sky turning to crimson hue
Beautiful n bountiful,  
Magical nature 
Free to all, selfless n endless…

Caged in pots, filled with water
A single flower smiles...
Wagging its tail, running around
Barking at passers-by, chained
Jumping as if to escape
Confused n startled, a cat whiskers…

Born free, chained by nature
Choices aplenty, listening to none...
Faking n fighting, polluting n colluding
Victims of destiny, crafted by self…

Its time to realise n release
The cage of life, locked by thoughts
Live a  life, selfless n endless...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Thoughts that became words during my evening walk. This is an expression towards free life and chained life.. Initially I wanted to write about Live in Relationship.. but my evening walk experience brought in thoughts more philosophic, when i experienced nature.. and here it is.. I hope you like it.. Looking forward to your feedback and comments
