Cages
White picket fence surrounds the perfect house
keeping the perfect life inside and intruders out.
White collar job surrounds you every day
keeping the money coming in and play time out.
White crisp clothes surround your body and soul
keeping the correct appearance on the outside.
White French doors surround the bedroom
keeping the perfect wife in her perfect place.
Cages come in different shapes and sizes
keeping you locked away in something not you.
Be bold, strike out. Ignore the cages, allow
people in to the house, go home from work, no overtime.
Be something you want to be.
Not something you’re told to be.
