TRAPPED IN A CAGE

(by madge andika)

We cannot move on and up in our lives
We see every part of our lives as a failure
We have become dishonest and unforgiving
Our experience is so miserable, that it has no meaning
We have developed negative emotions
We seem not to care about our neighbors anymore
We have divided boundaries and hearts

Our pace is slow
We are not balanced between our needs and the needs of others
We are not brave enough to remove the dead wood
The Politicians have killed our passion
We want to revolt against the tyranny that represses our freedom but we cannot
They have led us backwards
We are not wise anymore because we did not choose wise leaders
We need unity but we isolate ourselves from each other
All in the name of not my tribesman

We want to change for the better
We want to go forward, expand on what we know
Use our energy wisely to build our Nation
We do not want to be like anyone else
We want to have powerful people to help us achieve our goals
We want to find our niche and follow our passion
We know that freedom is the result of self-discipline
We are in control and we will use this value as the way forward

We feel like birds,
we have spread our wings and we are flying far, far away
We are not in panic
We have built our nests in many forests
Neither are we lonely nor caged anymore
The doors have opened forever
We have access to food and we can feed other birds
Indeed it is a new day
