Key Points

• The poem Migrant Bird is written by Famida Y. Basheer.
  • The globe’s my world. The cloud’s my kin
    I care not where the skies begin;
    I spread my wings through all the din;
    Through fears and fright, I fly my flight.
    No walls for me, no vigil gates,
    No flags, no machine guns that blast
    Citizens of those border states-
    Brothers of her brother’s sons.
    No maps, no boundaries to block
    My sojourn into unknown lands.
    I spawn and splash in distant spills,
    I breed my brood where’r I will.
    I won’t look down. No, I will not.
    With the speed of wings, I hasten past
    And close my eyes against the sun
    To dream my dreams and make them last.
