Spare this beautiful cage

Cold ignorant days

There is a limited number

Awaken from slumber

The polish won’t fade

Its value won’t degrade

It is a hardy cage

It will gracefully age

But abuse this cage

It pretends to show its age

Beauty is spirited inside

Hidden, till honesty’s verified

We leave the cage at night

It’s when we secretly unite

With freedom, we so crave

That joy, memory can’t save
