Caged

An animal caged may be well cared for

Protected and pampered, admired and fed

But can what’s gained ever make up for

What’s lost if the spirit of freedom is dead?

 

We all pay a price when we try to insure for

Tempestuous weather and fortune’s ebb tide

But can you find a replacement value for

A creative soul that has withered inside?

 

In a cluttered world there’s no longer space for

Vast open plains without fences and walls

But can you cage the instinctive passion for

An untamed life where wildness still calls?
