wild be the who one flies the skies to his hearts content,
who runs the land till his energy spent,
whose survival depends solely on them and their skills alone,
wild is they who are free.

Wild be the one who swims to the oceans depts,
who can graze the land and take free steps,
those who can kill their pray and eat it too,
wild is they who are free.

The author's comments:
what do you think when you think of the word wild? Because when i see an animal in a zoo and they claim it as a "wild" animal...i don't see one. I see an animal who is in a prison and has done nothing wrong to be contained. i see an animal whose wild majestic beauty is being exploited and lost with every crowd...i see...i see an animal who deserves freedom but cant have it due to his lack of words in our tongue.
