Limits
The children playing near
and he sits inside whole year,
thinking the cage is one world
away from outside and curled.
A free bird comes flying:
as escape from the Cat spying,
near the Metal that separates
two worlds, lives and fates.
A new language develops quick,
believing Unity, so as to trick,
but never thought Metal so hard
and flexible to wind and bombard.
Metal so sharp that hits darts
frustrated while bleeds hearts;
Both tried and still going on
tired but not to be withdrawn.
Will bars break and Cat runs away?
Silent wait, for the answer day..
