Prisoner In A Cage Poem by Verliza Gajeles

As little egg cracked to life

A tiny head peered out, ready to dive

Out of the shell to the beauty and reality

Of this wonderful world of kindness and cruelty.

Its tiny beak let out a soft sigh

To its first ever eagle's cry

Trying to figure out how could it be

That his mother is nowhere to see.

Confusion and unexplainable fear

The little eagle shed some tears

Its innocent heart flow into a rage

When he found out he is in a cage.

He begs for help but no one could hear

No one could even see its tiny tears

Lonely, hopeless, — is all he could feel

Why on earth this world becomes so cruel?
