Maya Angelou:
A caged bird sings, her voice unleashed,
A song of longing, a cry for peace.
Within the bars, her spirit takes flight,
For freedom’s dream, she continues to fight.
Yet, her wings are clipped, her spirit caged,
Her life, an anthem of battles waged.
Her soul soars beyond the grasp of chains,
Defiant in the face of unjust restraints.
In the shadows of adversity, her voice rings clear,
A beacon of hope to all those who hear.
For she knows, deep within her heart,
That freedom’s call cannot be silenced by the dark.
Though bound in fetters, her spirit remains strong,
Her dreams, a tide, an unrelenting song.
On winds of change, her echoes ride,
To a future of liberty, she does stride.
A caged bird sings, her voice so true,
A symphony of hope, her dream, a breakthrough.
May her song inspire us all to rise,
And in the face of darkness, let freedom’s light shine.

A powerful metaphor for the human struggle for freedom and self-expression. This poem reminds us that even in the darkest of times, our voices can be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.
