Theme: Liberty

A Storm For Good

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.]
