A parrot was  
keeping up  
with his flock,  
abiding by rules 
of the flock,  
always  
made to sing - 
only the song 
the flock liked 
during every  
flight with his  
flock. 
There were  
some places  
Where he  
wished to  
stay for a while,  
but the command  
made him carry on 
with the flock. 
One evening, 
way back to 
the home tree,  
a fierce storm 
came into  
the flock's way 
that dispersed  
everyone. 
The flock lost  
its birds,  
our parrot too 
was thrown away  
by strong winds, 
but luckily survived. 
Along with all  
his simple wishes  
now he's all alone 
but finds himself  
with all liberties,  
the liberty of - 
singing his  
own songs, 
the liberty of  
staying wherever  
he likes, 
the liberty of -  
following his  
own rules. 
What a lovely and 
nice storm this had been  
which came in the way  
of our naive parrot! 
  
[Liberty is still desired even when you are not caged.]
