I WON’T DISCLOSE TO ANYONE

I WON’T DISCLOSE TO ANYONE

Towards which height

I am ascending

I am not aware of

But, it is height certainly

I am climbing and climbing

You have intimacy

Introduce me with it

Who has taught you to make cage

Why did you learn to make cage?

Tell me silently

I won’t disclose it to anyone

This cage

Why did you buy? At what rate?

And for which fault

You captured parrot -mynah in it?

After clipping their wings

Why are you instructing both of them

To fly?

You simply cause suffering to others

I won’t implore you to save light

I won’t plead, not at all

Light is approaching till here

These days, during light/ darkness is

Publicly killing darkness

Are you aware of it?

I am still ascending

After clipping wings of

Parrot -mynah

Why are you telling them

To fly?
