We Can


We believe we stand as trees or birds in a cage.We wait for the wind to blow us away or for someone to open the lock.So we can be free and roam aroundTo dance freely in the wind and to soar high is all we want.But we forget trees and birds, we are not.Mere humans we are,We have two arms and two legs.We can freely move and open that cage.We don’t have to watch them tear us down. We don’t have to wait for them to let us out.
