The Cage

A bird on a chain,
collar and all,
this leash serves as a link
between free spirit and master
momentarily,
a door has opened
the cage no longer confines
leap at this chance
taking advantage
fly free with the wind
passion your guide
Realitys chain yanks you down
falling to the ground
dragging you back to your constant prison
try as you might
freedom will never be yours
Through it all you persistance shines bright.
your sullen crys echo in the distance
snuffed out by self made ropes
only a short mile until they have you
back to the cage
where they desire your presence
they draw closer with each breath
your collar lifts you to the gates of your demise
thrown into this cage locked up for all time
handcuffs and chains a constant companion
skeletons making their presence known in the darkness
you are caught
abondoned to this make shift home
through desprit eyes you spy a gate
beyond the window,
clear as can be
if only we could see
this cage that binds you to this mindless routine
