The bird is suffering in the cage

Golden one! Varieties of food!

Still trembling to get out.

For sixty long years

It is in this designed, golden cage.

It never tried to be free

Never longed for the wild forest

Never to swim in the river

Never did urge to live!

Can a cage be the ‘room’ to survive?

The body becomes old

The youth vanishes away

The colorful charm is a hoax?

Happiness is not in the golden cage

Glamor tricks and befool all the age

Death-bed thinks of the life and the freedom

The king is dead, unaware of his kingdom!
