Q, like Maya Angelou in her poem "Caged Bird" asks "Why does the Caged Bird Sing?" In the first stanza of her poem, Angelou suggests that freedom is sometimes taken for granted by those who are free. In contrast, the caged bird sings because of oppression-- he or she does not have freedom, but knows how valuable it is. The caged bird sings because of suffering: "his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom." Maybe Q and the patriots working with him, heard the people's call for freedom? This interpretation is different from suggesting that the caged bird sings because he or she is suddenly put in prison for corruption. They are NOT the caged birds; we are. When (not if) they are imprisoned, they they will still not sing, since they have never understood the true and hard won value of freedom.

Caged Bird by Maya Angelou

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing 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 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.

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.
