An
eagle flies above the sea.
He
flies alone, except for his freedom.
A
happy bird, ‘cause he can see
the world below his kingdom.
Why
can’t I fly in the sky?
Why
can’t I feel this paradise?
A bird
has freedom that humans don’t.
And,
will they have it? No, they won’t.
Unless,
they understand what freedom is.
What
are the common human’s dreams?
Life
in the zoo; and, it’s like this:
Don’t
have to hunt; don’t have to fly;
Don’t
have to worry about your life.
You’re
in the cage; you’re safe and warm.
And,
you don’t know what is war.
Such
is the human’s dream about perfect life.
But,
for an eagle, it’s in heart . . . a knife.
A
golden cage is a stupid dream; a legend.
A myth
in which no one can live.
Humans
try to reach with hand . . . a moon.
But,
can’t notice something that can be had so soon.
An
eagle notices; and, has this boon.
An
eagle knows . . . he doesn’t need a moon.
