i do not know why a caged bird sings? br or shall it sing when caged? br or shall it cry instead? br i know cages, and i have met some birds, br i have seen birds on cages br and i have heard them sing on trees br i have listened them when caged br it is not a song, but a cry, br it is not a dance, but a struggle, br it is not a poem, but the saddest prose.br br RIC S.
