I am safe
I am safe in the hands of the rich owner
I am safe in the house with a single door
I am safe in being addressed as a pet
I am safe in the ties of my wings
I am safe from the hungry animals
I am safe from the evil eyes
I am most happy.
My smile will always be reflected
in the walls of my cage
Yes, I am safe.
I beg my lovely owner to cut
down my wings
As they are useless in
this wide palace “SAFE”, or
Are my wings my beauty?
Alas, no!
Then what is my beauty?
My master said that my sacred ring of
Safety is his lady’s beauty.
