Cracked
Nothing is crueler than the need to satisfy man's inhumanity...The Poet
My heart cracked when I saw you there
those pained eyes with your empty stare
the state of your life is a stain
and will cause my tears to remain
the air is a bottomless gray
to breathe till' death and here you'll stay
this zoo's small cage is not your choice
you are dying, I won't rejoice
If you could spread your wings you'd fly
far above clouds, you'd reach so high
sadness is that you'll never know
the mountain tops covered in snow
you're a Condor waiting to die
you'll never glide high in the sky
a prisoner who sits alone
to never soar in the unknown
