Wild Birds in Captivity
poemtheart 2000 (lahore)
Those birds that roamed free,
Endless flights filled with glee,
They glide over the trees,
Flying side to side with the breeze,
Above the deserts, they can reach,
Following the wind that they preach,
Finding the oasis that they screech,
Under the clouds that breach,
A glimpse of their prey,
They plunge headfirst at bay,
Stumble and tumble right on the net,
Shackle and tackle trying to release itself yet,
Realizing the faults of one’s actions,
The bird gives out its different reactions,
Confused as the bird seems,
Its faith got interrupted by human needs.
Poem on Wild Birds in Captivity by Sarah Shahzad, November 2022
About this poem
There is no such animal as a cage bird, All caged birds were either captured or captive bred, No bird was born to be in a cage In the wild, They preen each other.. fly together and paly together.
