Free Cee Are You From the Zoo 2
ARE YOU FROM THE ZOO TOO?
At the zoo
trapped at the zoo
with nary a sky of blue
just sienna brown
and looking down
never seeing past the next dawn
and never looking back at each morn
suddenly it's time for this
and believe me, that time ain't bliss
it's total turmoil
and they'd better check their oil
because there's a stench
and into a well-oiled machine someone threw a monkey wrench
because that's what inept administrations do
at the zoo
this is a place where the animals are fed minimally
and they know the staff is corrupt subliminally
they think the animals don't see through their cages
as the zookeeper just keeps flipping pages
he's reading a book on how to treat animals with respect
but he's got dyslexia so he thinks the word is neglect
there are no locks because those in the zoo have nowhere else to go
that much I know
but i'm not willing to suffer from detachment and solitude
while those in high towers are repugnant, removed and f*cking rude
so I will not bear that which I see
because one of those animals is me
and at the zoo
one dares destiny to deem us all to be free
simply say adieu
to the zoo
