The Illusion Trap

By Dhanisha Sateesh

When a caged bird is set free,

When it has lived all its life in captivity,

Will it search for an iron perch or a tree?

When minds run amok,

And Sun shines bright at dawn,

The sky is green and the grass is blue,

Dreams do come true.

When a mind is chained,

And ideas restrained,

Thoughts sink into a narrow abyss,

Is ignorance truly bliss?

When you release all the shutters of your mind,

Stay away from boxes that make you blind.

Once you set yourself free,

Don't be the little bird that looks for an iron perch instead of a tree!
