Answer:
I know why the caged birds sing is a poem by Maya Angelou, and reveals the plight of the caged bird.
Explanation:
In the poem, Maya Angelou narrates the tale of a caged bird that is in a cage so narrow that it cannot even see through the bars of the cage. Its wings are clipped and its feet are tied, leaving it further no avenue to escape. However, it opens its mouth to sing, because that is the only way it can assert its freedom.
The poem is highly autobiographical in nature as it portrays Angelou’s own struggles with patriarchy and racism
