Caged By Free Will

I live in your box
        Of determinate shape and size
                   Free to move around
                          But within your confines
                                 I have free will, to that you attest 
                                         Caged; an active participant in society
                                 Believing I am living life the best
                          Such illusions of freedom you mis-sell
                    1 vote! 1 voice! You proclaim
         Millions duped, 'safe' under your spell

Sad when many are brainwashed... Set yourself free
