Sing (On Maya Angelou)


Sing (On Maya Angelou)

I am no caged bird, but I sing.

I sing of a better place,

One where I can be heard.

 

I am in a figurative prison,

But I will be free.

Free of this place that is so degenerative.

 

My words will ring loud and clear,

And the whole world will hear them.

I am no caged bird, but I sing….
