Maya Angelou (4 April 1928)

The poem relates a contrast between liberty and slavery. The poem has its echo with Tagore's poem, -Dui-Pakhi or The Two Birds.

Good poets must transform and become one with the words and lines produced. Maya is extremely adept in inserting her soul in her works. Thank you for inspiring me Maya.

ahhh this poem is so touchable in my country, you'll find here millions of caged birds, singing with a fearful trill..

Speechless, as usual, Ms. Angelou. I thank the Most High for speaking to us through your marvelous poetry.

This is my favourite poem of all time, a very talented lady.......

Our Rabindranath has such a poem in Bangla language on caged bird and free bird. But it is quite a different poem. Both are beautiful.
