Parrot was caught

A parrot was caught from the jungle. 
Din't harm any, din'd indulge any bungle.
A parrot ....

Had thousands of the trees for his home. 
Had the whole of sky to fly and roam.
Now has only one iron rod, to dangle. 
A parrot ... 

He is kept wedged in a very small space.
Lost his whole freedom and the flying craze. 
Played with him, the fowler, peculiar wangle. 
A parrot ....  

In the cage lives without family, like soul-less.
Not got a sort of task to beat the loneliness. 
Doesn't know without flock, how to handle. 

A parrot ... 

Committed no crime, lives like a prisoner. 
Deprived of fresh fruits, watching woodpecker.
Cut off from his real world from all angle.
A parrot ...

Separated from his mate to live in moan.
Had to learn a language that's not his own.
Compelled to live apart, self as single. 


A parrot ... 

wrangle - quarrel, row
wangle - conduct
