She was not in a cage, and was free to fly, <br />She was the bird of a ship, open to sky, <br />Still unhappy, and her songs were sad, <br />Days and nights on the ship, were bad. <br /> <br />She decided to fly to a land of flowers, <br />For Having fresh food and pleasant showers, <br />One day at the dawn, she left her home, <br />The flight didn't lead to an island of dome. <br /> <br />Hungry and thirsty with the tired wings, <br />She came back to pollution and pings, <br />Life is life it's never too bad, <br />Much love she had, many joys she had. <br /> <br />Forgive me My God! I am often frustrated, <br />I am back to your kindness, under rated! <br />Where else my soul can get rid of pain, <br />Like bird of a ship, I am back once again. <br /> <br />(Based on two lines by Kabir Das-(Translation by me) Where else my soul can get rid of pain, Like the bird of a ship, I am back once again)<br /><br />Akhtar Jawad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bird-of-a-ship/
