Let them fly
Let them fly
Clip the wings
The bird will never soar
The cage remains
Outside the door
Unjust in many ways
No access laid the trap
That catches possibilities
Slaughtering potential
The money was not paid
So the gift was denied
This story is rarely told
We never look beneath the line
Where impoverished children reside
Willing to make the sun shine
Able to fly
For these lost children I cry
~ Camille
