If there is a God,
then why did he give me wings and a cage?

At the Performance Poetry workshop I attended yesterday, we looked at some videos of performers. One of them had a few notes playing in the background and the performer speaking in a characteristic singsong, often-rhyming style. I blurted out, “But that’s rap!” The others smiled and told me that rap…

Unimpressed
Everything fights to make an impression. You’ve been a tap-tap-tapping rhythm from one snooze button to the next. Yet, you remain unimpressed.
@IdeaSmith:
Hmm… in that case, assuming there is a God, he gave you wings and a cage, so as to keep you trapped in the latter, so that you keep wishing (and praying) to fly free… I believe it is as simple as that !
But here, I ask… God has given you (or the bird in question) wings and a cage… but has he really put that bird IN the cage? Cuz if he hasn’t, then all that discussion above is kinda unnecessary!

@Jeeves: To come back to the original question, then why? What is the point of the struggle?
@alpha: Fish don’t live in cages.
@Kavita: Poetic as it may sound, a bird can’t actually break open the cage.
because the ocean comes next.
So that I teach myself to break open the cage, and then enjoy the blissful flying experience. After all, what’s the point in just having something, and not knowing it’s value! And here I quote.. “Cuz you don’t know what you’ve ’til it’s gone..”
