Caged Bird

By Maya Angelou

The 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.

Summer 2019 has arrived and that means it’s time to fill up your calendar. Before you start planning a vacation to some secluded island, you might want to consider sticking close by to a movie theater. The reason being that there are 34 summer 2019 movies coming out that are so worth seeing.

As per usual, the upcoming releases include a lot of familiar reboots and sequels. But before the complaints start coming in regarding the lack of original ideas, first take a look at what these old familiar titles entail- a lot of much more exciting and new than you would expect. Need an example? Men in Black: International, slated to come out June 14th. The reboot features a whole new team of special agents, which includes Tessa Thomspon as Agent M. We’re so hyped that a woman is finally joining the elite team of alien butt-kickers.

There’s much more coming over the next three months from mega monster movies to a horrifying new Child’s Play to even a live-action take on an animated adventure series.
