daffodils confined
in a vase
can't dance
nightingales clipped
in gilded cages
go silent
tigers caught
behind steel bars
pace ruts
orcas captured
in stale aquariums
suffer boredom
children chained
to wooden desks
die inside
Absolutely agree.

Beautiful picture too.
ah, so true.
ReplyDeletewe need more creativity and freedom in our schools to enable the children to truly grow into who they are to be...
