I have wings


I have wings,I can not be caged away...I need space to roam,to see the world...I have to feel the breeze against my wings,and the sun's rays which warm me...I need to fly with the flock,and make up for lost time...Make the nest I have wanted...But I'm stuck behind these bars,I look out to the sky...I hear my owners yet they make no since...They say they take care of me,...but they have clipped my wings

I would never thought this poem would be compared to major poets.
