Correct Answer - Option 2 : human beings
The correct answer is 'human beings'.
- The poem Migrant Bird is written by Famida Y. Basheer.
- The globe’s my world. The cloud’s my kin
I care not where the skies begin;
I spread my wings through all the din;
Through fears and fright, I fly my flight.
No walls for me, no vigil gates,
No flags, no machine guns that blast
Citizens of those border states-
Brothers of her brother’s sons.
No maps, no boundaries to block
My sojourn into unknown lands.
I spawn and splash in distant spills,
I breed my brood where’r I will.
I won’t look down. No, I will not.
With the speed of wings, I hasten past
And close my eyes against the sun
To dream my dreams and make them last.
- The theme of this poem is that nature as such does not have any border or restriction.
- A man should see how nature survives in unity, one dependent on the other. The man should understand nature and he too should work in unity without any restriction with others.
- Therefore, we can say that in the poem "Migrant Bird" the poet contrasts the life of a migrant bird with that of human beings.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
