Caged Bird Poem by Chandra Shekhar Dubey

I asked a snivelling caged bird
What does freedom mean to you?
She replied ruefully-
It means all beyond cage bars
Getting the dignity of free flight
by melting the iron bars into
airy space of my dream.
Selfsame song of my heart
that aches with joy of freedom.
The vast periphery
that doesn't restrict my passion
for creation and inhabitation
cutting all walls of prison.
Let me awake in that land
where liberty is creed
of living with my conviction.
