Cry Of The Caged Bird Poem by PREMKUMAR C N

Cry Of The Caged Bird

Rating: ★4.6


If you love me
You wouldn't have
Locked me up
In this cage
If you love me
You wouldn't have
Made me wish
For death than
Life in this grave

If you love me
You would have
Let me spread
My wings and fly
You wouldn't have
Entrapped me
If I was a bird
Of no beauty
Like a crow

Do you know
How much I crave
For the songs
Of the woods
Than living
In this cage
Do you know
How much my
Beak longs for
The nectar
Of fresh flowers

Do you know
How much I
Lament my fate
To watch those birds
Fly in the air
Of freedom
If I could speak
I could have
Told you that
Your love for me is
Cruelty in reality
