Dear Bird--
In a Cage...
Your Homeland...
Now,
A Valley of Death.

The Shadows of Which,
But the Lone Few of Your Kind,
Hide...
An Elusive Haven,
From Man's Prying Eyes,
From Man's Coveting Heart.

Your Native Abode,
Man has Torn Apart...
That His Seeds,
May Divide the Lands,
As if the Spoils,
Of a Lost Pirate's Treasure.

As For...
Lower Level Inhabitants--
YOU--
Bird,
Now in a Cage...
Captives,
For His Pleasure...
No More,
Therefore,
Will You Soar,
Within Your Native Air...
Might Then in a Cage,
You Better Fare?

Though...
At the Sacrifice of Your Sanity,
Though...
At the Sacrifice of a Captive's Despair.
