sings without words
a song without lyrics
melody without a score
The bird's song
a human may not sing
a musician may not replicate
a writer may not compose
The bird sings
heartily without hesitation
joyfully without reward
sweetly without applause
The singing bird
is sadly confined to a cage
by inhumane humans
who are thrilled by its singing
who reward sweetness with sorrow
who inflict cruelty in return for joy.
The bird sings.
