Heart of a Caged Animal

Cling to the last fragments of your credence Forgetting all mistakes and faults Forgiving the critics of their impotence and slandering those the world exalts They can lock an animal in a cage Depriving it of its God-given right However can never take away its rage So they instead put it in a vexatious plight Despite this all and control of a tyrant Driven by a claim of purity A claim of which he needs to recant I would have pity for one with such calamity But for those who hope wrongdoing on another And receive from it some sick sense of pleasure I wish for you a long life and pain in which you smother For they are great and to them you are of no measure As comforting the song of an angel calming the rage of the caged animal and setting it free That same angel's song heals the enraged caged animal's wounds inside of me.
