Fish in a Bowl

A bird that is trapped

In a cage and can't flap

Away in the summer breeze

Dreams of open blue skies

And he sings, and he cries

Warbling on about sunshine and trees

But a fish in a bowl

With water murky and cold

Only wriggles around with gold fins

He cannot even shout

Only hope to come out

But he knows that the chances are thin

He floats near his plants

Wishing that he could dance

In the ocean, salty and free

But all that he can do

Is sit there, full of gloom

And drown in his own misery
