Caged Bird
By Maya AngelouThe free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom
The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The one and only ’90s boy band that continued to perform is The Backstreet boys. The group including A.J., Brian, Howie, Nick and Kevin have stuck together through the good times, and the bad times (minus a little break from Kevin).
Every time a new tour, we all melt and start singing and screaming alone in our rooms like we’re 12 all over again. It’s the greatest feeling ever. They’ve been indulging us in the best pop music for the past 25 years, and in recent years have even been taking their fans on cruises. Yep, you got that right – the most serious and dedicated of fans can hang out with them at sea.
This year’s cruise came with some seriously exciting surprises. But most importantly and memorable was when they dressed up the Spice Girls. Nop, we’re not kidding. It really happened. The boy band put on platform heels, wigs and their most fabulous girl power poses to ensure that they honored the girls in the best way possible. It gets even better. They sang Wannabe.
Nick Carter dressed up as Baby Spice, Brian Littrell as Sporty Spice, A.J McLean as Scary Spice, Kevin Richardson as Posh Spice, and Howie Dorough as Ginger Spice. Amazing. Rumor has it that the two groups together would make the most incredible tour ever, however at the moment there is nothing in the making.
