i woke up the other day wanting to have a pet bird
i visualized the color, yellow bright feathers
it's hues burnt my third eye
i swayed to it's sweet melody
as i danced my way to ecstasy
i laughed to myself as i taught it a few tricks
i cleaned its home daily with a smile on my face
that's wat i would do iF only i had that bird.


i wanted a bird
i wanted a yellow bird

my smile soon turned to sorrow
my mood changed from bight yellow
to a sombre shade of grey
wat more can i say
the bird
the dream
the wanting
turned into
the selfishness
the imprisonment
like cards in a storm
like a bird given it's freedom
my dream flew away
as much as i want it
i have to set it free
as GOD intended it to be

now i look at the birds outside my window
place a cup of water and some seeds
watch them fly free
wishing that someday it would be me

i wanted a bird
i wanted a yellow bird
Once..
