A wise woman once said “A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends”,
And that caged “bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars”
Makes me think of the people that peep through the castle walls,
Into the believed gleaming cities of gold, where all they saw,
Was people that could speak without fear of a bullet, blade, kick, fist, or lash,
Where even here the poor could sleep in streets without being rounded up, to be killed and enslaved,
The cage birds stare at the eagle mocking flight still stalking his cage,
Not noticing how it jaded at best here and depraved,
Where they ignore one another in apps, sites,and devices use/demand/cost make slaves , used only to spy socially, obsess and covet vicariously over lives of others or lie about life, on the perch see how we behave,
The children stare in awe to see fights on tube or in a disrespectful classroom, where they can’t even afford to run a foul of Nuns, or volunteers if they want to go to school,
Where in some countries only males get education, women get stoned and beatings for being literate female waiting for a chance to walk with bookstrap holders,
Where in the congo fantasy football is a flat soccer ball found that allows them to be kids at play in mind for a moment and not be child soldiers,
Where a facebook post about political views could get your home bombed, you jailed, or murdered in the street,
Women post video, photos for likes, and dress so un-modest,
But in India when she shows to much beauty she gets gang raped on a bus by her male liker because she looked nice and nobody there cares for or likes her to protest,
Its her fault for being attractive, its her fault for not being a male,
Look at your freedom, and never thought why they want it, and why they want to have the thought of it dead to keep fear people to maintain frights pale,
Terror is why the bird sing in cage, he is meant to fly but travels restricted,
Can’t escape a wall deep or tall enough to enclose there is no way around it,
We have given a bitter tasting world its first taste of chocolate,
Democracy to them is delicase & toxic,
But here it defies logic
But it’s better to share but examine the history to see it's a lie, but like the Lion at the zoo, we are free but selfishly caged and guarded,
Because to everyone else we are the sight of the world to see, so sell the lie and sing birdie, see the discarded,
Feed hungry, build, provide clean water ,schools, and safety in street from terrorist gangs everywhere, but what about ours,
We wish to give the world democracy, but like that Lion poached, you now think on that zoo lion now,
Caged but better than free, because the free is endangered, The free lion is a walking target, a trophy,
Democracy must be preserved and protected, but it must be bettered before it is cloned,
Ask yourself truly, if we want the world to be just like US, Like a parent wishes no copy but should wish all their child dreams could be,
Big Brother, be big brother to other country,
But give them more to dream for too,
Because they get here and do the jobs we find beneath us, are things we believe privilege should not have to do or be, once we have a dollar or two,
Irony in plain sight, say hello to a nanny, paid mother to your kids because Mother is too busy to Mom,
Yet we say they raise criminals, can’t be trusted, when natives say only one minority has stole land, lifes, and was said could never be trusted, as pilgrims or brothers in arms,
In time and shame, the old ways change, so why be hypocritical now,
Give a chance as you renew rights vow,
We throw buffet table food away at end of day, and wonder why our own forage trash for a morsel to eat,
We step over those poor souls, we mock, abuse, and dismiss them that live in the street,
We will film a son's or daughters assault, robbery, death, abuse, and post it showing we stood idly by,
So in good reason, should you not thank them for giving us a reason, to inhabit all the American dream they dare to be what they dreaming,
It’s a duty that we should hold each other to, because it was on this our home was build, remember from which you came, or else home of the Free, is never right to say,
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity....”
That we must hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, before we try to endowed, by Creator, that certain unalienable rights, be given among all people seeking life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
A Haven and model true to see but don't call it American, call humanity,
Honor my plea,
Keep the eagle cage until it can heal broken a wings to shelter his own nest before letting free to currents end,
