Explanation:

According to these statements from Paul Launce Dunbar, "I know what the caged bird feels, alas!", "I know why the caged bird beats his wing

Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;

For he must fly back to his perch and cling

When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;

And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars

And they pulse again with a keener sting—

I know why he beats his wing!" and " But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core," The theme to Sympathy is the imprisoning affect of racism. In the poem, Paul L. D. compares himself to a caged bird. He describes how a colored skin person would feel as if, they are a caged bird.
