Member Poem

I know what you see when you see me,
a creature to keep in captivity.
So, you wish to abduct me,
and hold me hostage indefinitely.
You can't trap me, I'm wild and free.

Your heart is filled with hate and rage,
you plan confinement in a cage.
My freedom is your outrage,
your desire you'll not engage.
You can't trap me, I'm wise with age.

You believe I don't notice you,
a prisoner of your life; it's true.
Jealous that I am not like you,
attend work; come home, as you do.
You can't trap me, I'm true value.

I know you hear my morning song,
your interpretation is so wrong.
Keep me with you; there'll be no song,
out here, I sing all year long.
You can't trap me, I'm far too strong.

Please will you just leave me be,
you're a man; I'm a bird you see.
Together we're not meant to be,
I'm free to fly for eternity.
You can't trap me, I'm wild and free.
