Whispers to my class mate ear"Bhenehdikt" i'm I late¤

OMA4U:
Today we are going to discuss the poem posted by Laykorn for all to read and digest, and we are going to discuss what we have learnt.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings[b/]

OMA4U:
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the
sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn
bright lawn
and he names the sky his own

But a caged bird stands on the grave of
dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

We're sorry this class will come to an abrupt end. It's not easy typing with screen abeg.

We have already prepared a brilliant note and analysis for today's class. We're going to be typing with pc, then copy and paste henceforth.

We're going to compensate for today's shortcomings in our next class. Thanks for understanding. God bless you.

OMA and Krystalxxx.

[b] "The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom."

The stanza explicitly displays the true meaning of the poem and definite actions of a "caged bird." Blackness of skin acts as a barrier for the black race; it prevents freedom for a person. The freedom, and feelings of
a white person's existence are unknown to one who is black. Here, Maya's belief for freedom and equality is beginning to spread among the black race. She "sings" for freedom.
Throughout history, barriers have been put up between races. [b/]
