Answer:
Explanation:
well i won't say it has the power to set one free but in the poem the dominant idea the poet gave us is that the birds sang and sang for freedom. if we look at the other poem the song of the women of my land, in the poem the women used songs to ease r=their pain and make their slavery bearable. In caged bird the birds sang because they wanted to be free and they saw the free birds flying. I also believe they sang using the song as a distress call for other birds to come and save him.

Answer:
"Caged Bird" was published in Maya Angelou's 1983 poetry collection Shaker, Why Don't You Sing? The poem describes the opposing experiences between two birds: one bird is able to live in nature as it pleases, while a different caged bird suffers in captivity. Due to its profound suffering, the caged bird sings, both to cope with its circumstances and to express its own longing for freedom. Using the extended metaphor of the two birds, Angelou paints a critical portrait of oppression in which she illuminates the privilege and entitlement of the un-oppressed, and conveys the simultaneous experience of suffering and emotional resilience. In particular, the poem's extended metaphor can be seen as portraying the experience of being a member of the African American community
