Orders

89 39 22
                                    

There was a bird,
Captured in a cage.
Fighting for life,
Under desires and rage.

There was a flower,
Given away by time.
Petals plucked by prisoner,
But counted not a crime.

There was a lioness,
Brought her from the forest.
Trained to perform well,
By new master's interest.

There was a girl,
Raised up and married.
Freedom out of sight,
Her owner's orders she carried.
