Don’t put me in a cage again
Let me fly again to my world
Where I can find peace, happiness, and love
Don’t put me in a cage again
I have a hope, I have a dream
Let me reach my goal
Don’t make my life useless
Don’t put me in a cage again
I am silent, not weak
Let me speak
I am the voice of my land, I am the dream of my land
Let me change my future
Let me live my life
Don’t put me in a cage again
Give me my pen and my book
I will write my pain and read it to the world
And tell them that I hunger for peace, happiness, and love in my land
Don’t put me in a cage again!

shogofa,
I am very much impressed with your beautiful poem and thoughts that reflects the Beauty of your brain.
I absolutely love this poem. I can feel the hope and desperation and defiance and I believe that poetry is best when it is being used to try and change something: a mind, a way of life, or the way we look at something. Thank you.
