Stateless Bird Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Stateless Bird

Rating: 4.7


The retarded Freedom fighter who realized one day
his bird in the cage should get her retirement soon.
He regrets that her confinement is not fair at all.
A starry night he opened the cage door to let her fly
and he waited till morning,
but the bird still remains in the cage and twittered,
'Dear comrade now only you realized the true freedom
and you opened the door at last,
but I am not familiar with this sky.
Who is going to teach me to fly? .
Please close the door and let me leave alone
at least to get my last breath'.

Something very poignant about this one. Freedom is often a state of mind whatever the circumstances. Take care. Warm regards, Sandra
