Analysis of A Song Of Prisoner
I had a small bird
In a beautiful cage,
Placed near a window
It sang each morning
In a sweet and a lovely chatter
However,
It was a prisoner
Each day,
The birds attempted to fly
In the cage
Seeing other birds flying open
It chattered loudly
Alas,
It failed,
Knowing not, it was a prisoner
Whenever I saw that
A thought entered my mind,
For comparison with the bird
As I was also an alien
From another part of the world
The natural one
I also had a beautiful
Decorated, and designed home,
even that
I felt the grief and sorrows
If I saw a flight
Flying over the sky
A feeling touched heart and mind
Actually,
I was also a prisoner
In the cage of Euros
We both were living
Without the life of nature
And unmatched.
