Queen Of A Cage Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Queen Of A Cage

Rating: 4.9


Too careless what's going on all around?
Although in a cage she is kept and bound,
The couple is not free and cannot fly,
When she sees other birds in the open sky,
She turns his nibs to the pretty spouse,
She is queen of a cage now it's her house,
Incubating her eggs with the dreams of breed,
Content with her life she forgot the need,
Need of listening to a lover's sweet voice,
What she can do having no other choice,
She lived in dreams she will live in dreams,
A helpless bird cannot swim in streams,
When she sees her spouse forgets her rage,
Like her the spouse is also in the cage,
And then she sings in her sweet lovely voice,
For a spouse that is not her lovely choice,
And when young ones come out of the eggs,
She puts her past in the wax sealed kegs.

As far as two loved ones are together, they can be happy even in a cage! I watch two finches kept in a cage and hung in our porch! They seem to be so happy together! Enjoyed the poem much!

A beautiful picture of a bitter truth prevailing in a society that is still ruled by the feudal lords...........10
