As we build cages for others we build our own cages.

You were not born a cattle waiting to be fed and later sold to be slaughtered.

Nor were you born to be to be kept in captivity with the rest of your kind.

You were not born as fishes swimming in a small and crowded pond living out your life without much meaning other than for decorative purposes and as food.

Or as ducks all dressed in white and marching towards you end.

Or a bird singing in an ivory cage till the you die.

You were born a beautiful human being capable of miracles.
