Caged for a crime I did not commit
To the laws of men I must submit
Life in freedom I envisioned
Yet nobody heard; not one listened
How many times I pleaded ‘not guilty’
Tried to make them see reality
The sorrow I felt; the torment I suffered
To men none of these mattered
For them my voice was just cacophony
A nuisance they tolerate for money
Come spring I will be sentenced
All my screams would be silenced
So will be the fate of all my kind
Their lives forever and ever sidelined.
