Broken wings!!
It was an invitation really,
from a friend to visit their home for a surprise. So I visited, it was a
surprise marriage anniversary gift for my friend from her husband, a collection
of little colorful birds in a nice high price cage. I am not Tarzan or Mogli to
read that bird’s mind or understand them,but they looked sad, and yes I was surprised but it was
not a good kind of surprise for me. it was painful as
I know that it is not supported by law to keep pet birds, but it is not rare in
today’s society. It is kind of a show off or playing god kind of thing. The couple
was celebrating their marital bond by destroying the natural bond of a free
bird from an open sky.
Birds, are the most exquisite and tremendous
creation of nature, which are able to enjoy the big nice open sky so
beautifully and naturally. Spreading their colorful wings the can make this sky
look alive. But seeing them in a small cage in an apartment is nothing sweet or
awesome or nice, it was gloomy, dark, painful and selfish. We don’t have wings,
we are not able to fly so normally we need technology for that, yeas we have opposable
thumbs and evolved brain and a conscious mind but that does not make us god or decider
of fate for lesser animals, as a matter of facts who can say they are lesser,
they are like that they are living breathing animals, that upon who we don’t or
we should not have any rights whatsoever. But we have power so we don’t think
or care, only for our amusement some psychotic people still killing animals,
destroying regardless of any consequences, our own ecology for fun and games
and for money. We are keeping a free magnificent symbol ultimate freedom in
cages, what is it? Superiority complex? Or god complex? Or just narcissism?
I was kind of irritating to them with my own
views and sympathy, but it was worth it, those birds represented several bad diseases
that we facing today in our society cruelty, lack of freedom of mind or speech, hatred selfishness
and many more. It is a symbol of our insecurity that we need to torture lesser
animals to make us feel worthwhile feel happy, we like to own them, like to
play with them cause it reflects our control or grip on their life, in a
clueless world that we live this little act of cruelty makes us fate makers for
a little while. I know after a period of time those birds will forget to fly in
wild and live and breed in wind they will be prisoner forever the next generation
will born in captivity, they will lost their will to fly free, but still those
little marble like eyes will look to the sky and scream for no reason, the
wings of their mind will be broken.
But in reality who is really loosing something?
The illusion the cruelty the selfish rationalism will hurt whom the most? Are we really making the lives of those birds
measurable? Or they only represent the
broken wings of our hopes and humanity? It is a question that scares me most in
the dark…….
