shackles

happy in their shackles
of caste, creed and community
people never try to break away
as fortune tellers parrot
happy in its captivity
with food shelter and security
never tries to fly away

  1. I had a parrot when i was little who didn’t want to fly away from his home too…. I used to get him out of his cage, place him on my blouse and go to the beach. He would only fly off my chest to get in his house! :)
