The Free Bird and the Caged Bird
� In this poem the free bird is a metaphor for the white race-the White Americans whereas the caged bird is a metaphor for the coloured race or the Black Americans. The caged bird cannot go beyond the bars of racial prejudice. Its feet are tied and wings are clipped i.e its freedom has been curtailed. The free bird on the other hand flies high in the sky of new opportunities.
