The Cage

"The Cage" by T.C. Fulton How do you keep me here..doesn't make sense.. I sit and I stare..like a crow on a fence There's nothing with substance and everything moves.. Nothing to gain..nothing to lose.. In this cage.. I saw a rainbow..stolen today.. Creepy freaks..took it away.. I saw a baby torn to shreds.. While the rest of the world slept in their beds.. I saw the people faking a smile.. Entertaining themselves..as they all looked away.. I saw it all..from the back of my head.. I slowly sat..still.. In my cage..feeling dead.. I saw a forest ..filled with new life.. Slashed and then burned..then forgotten ..each night.. I saw a Nuclear power plant spill.. Killing the fish and creatures and whales.. Still..in my cage.. I watched as the people..tried not to smile.. They drank and they danced..for awhile.. I saw the children..die in the cars... Waiting for mommies and daddies for hours.. I saw the world..growing darker in shades.. Everyone wanting to see in grey's .. Still..in my cage.. Looking away..looking inside.. Blinded by jealousy, hate, and pride.. Where are the innocent pure and the true.. I in my cage..am looking for you... No one..to save..do I see in the land.. Only the wicked..stand.. The sand in the hourglass falls by the second.. Judgement will come..when the moment is right.. Then darkness will take the light.. No one here will ever be free.. They will all be trapped..just like me.. In my cage.
