Freedom Doves

I gaze outside at the doves

Flying high above the fields, and wonder

Why is it that my wings are clipped?


The sound of their whistling wings

Tugs teasingly at my heart strings;

A heart caged behind window bars.


Their song carries on the gentle breeze,

Cheerful music my ears turn to sad tones.

Why is it my beak is muted?


Silhouettes cast against the morning sun

Blur with tears as I pull at my shackles.

Why am I not free to fly high?


Perhaps, because I am bound

By society's chains.
