Oh great warriors Of yore Sages of folk lore, Could you tell me Why do I feel vanquished In the face of victory? Had no aspiration to build Great empires, Or enlighten The ignorant. Just a small aspiration To be free And protest against Pressure of Conformity… On being released, from captivity, Stood dazed in front of Open cage, Like a bird Who has forgotten the Instinct to fly Looked skyward: Jonathan Livingston Seagull Soaring high… Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is a fable in novella form about a seagull learning about life and flight.
