I'm sorry little bird But that was the way you were made…

“I'm sorry little bird But that was the way you were made. There will always be distance. But we will make sure your gilded cage Is resplendent. You will live seperate, but we will keep you so busy That you don't know You're not free.” quote by Rex Emerson Jackson
