***

still on a golden cage
why does he sing so beautifully
infinity is his love song
and instead of concentrate
we feed his strength
that great betrayal
with some song seed;
Oh, let's leave Pietje free
Aladdin's Djinn
which is nothing at all;
Oh, Piet's Min
as could ever be happier
Walther von der Vogelweide
releases him from that heady pain
and just let him be a bird again!
