Thinking Freedom (Part 3) Poem by Kingsley Egbukole
Thinking Freedom (Part 3)
Rating: ★5.0
Then I think of freedom denied
And I think of the birds in cages
And of clipped wings
I think of plants in pots
And of stunted roots
I think of animals in zoos
And of amputated legs
I think of fishes in aquariums
With the fins slashed.

Lovely thoughts on freedom. I've read all the three in this series, this further elaboration on freedom is marvelous.
