Caged Bird
BY MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

This poem is soo powerful and very true i think that this poem is the most magical and trueful and hurtful in a good way and makes us think about how sometime we feel trapped but when we are they can hear us.

I Agree with you, it is a powerful poem.

At the end of this in the background, with protesters crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge, it brings the harsh thoughts of being caged into the perspective for a focus many haven't considered.

[@ekaterinapetrova8975]

I just discovered I am the caged bird. I am trying to use my voice and speak and share but each time I do I cry and choke up. I said to myself "I'm in a cage why do I speak of no one is or wants to listen or care how I feel or am doing" and the voice inside my head said "let the caged bird sing" that sounded so beautiful and true, days later I decided to Google it to see if it had any meaning to it ....I was led to this poem and I can't stop crying 😭 it's like both my purpose and my freedom fell into my lap

[@TalkTalks]

Let the caged bird sings Ekaterina, and be free
