The Empty Cage. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

I knew you have escaped from me
The beautiful surroundings in which I cared you
I hoped a good domestication of you
And play well in my own evenings
By feeding, giving lot of milk for happiness
Unknowing the feeling of captivity
Since I am enjoying my own freedom
In the world of happiness in this way
When I caught you from the green meadow
While you were trying to run fast
Cleverly I bought you in my tricks
And provided a decent living and beautiful cage
I knew you are a child of wilderness in jungle
And you will try in every occasion to escape
The jungle is your home that planned
The fresh and tender grass in meadow you likes
Than my care and feeding in time as planned
You are a beautiful rabbit ever grown in wild jungle
Where you pray to the god morning and evening
The sun take care of you at all times that I knew
Anyway I am not sad in seeing the empty cage.
