Bound by inquisitive words
Words that seek freedom to be spilled to the world

I'm Intimidated by ears
Ears that decline to hear

I want to be heard
even though it takes me to bird!

I'm cowed to "SPEAK NO FURTHER"
For my sayings prompt guilt in the heart of others

My words spreads like a wildfire in the forest
Yet only few ears amongst my peers hear them

Only few minds meditate on them
Only few hearts ponder on them

My lips may tear
But it pays to bear

I may have to gulp tons of criticism
It still pays to bear

I may be caged and cained
I'll still press on for the gain in the long run

It pays to bear
For one day I'd be bared
One day I'd be heard

I'll not be coerced to be mute
Cos it's my dream to stand on a butte
And speak for all to brood...
