Caged

Bird singing in a tree.
What is it like to be free?
Do you worry or despair
or are you happy beyond compare?

Dog barks in the night.
What has given you such a fright?
Is it a stranger that you fear
or someone who you hold dear?

A child crying in a cage,
what has got you to this stage?
Days and nights without rest.
Parents doing what they thought best.
