The bird in the cage
P v Seshadri 1946 (Kolkata)
"When I see the bird in the cage,
My heart fills with sorrow and rage,
In the world so large and beautiful,
The little bird does not have life, colourful,
While other birds fly joyfully and sing,
The little bird can't even spread its wing,
All the day and all the night,
Life in the cage is a pathetic sight."
