Analysis of A CAGED BIRD
I lived in a jungle where I was born,
I was offered to eat sweet corn
My life was filled with happiness,
I was free and cared with kindness
Plants and trees were my bestie,
Lions and tigers were my family
One day I came across a strange world,
That was full of pollution and dirt
I was scared of that new world,
When suddenly someone caged me up
My heart was pumping faster and faster,
I could not think what could go disaster
The only thing that came to my mind,
was I am a bird of free kind
I tried my best to leap down,
But now I was a caged bird of human town
