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

May 23, 2017 at 7:33 PM look up the Scottish Rite organization to see if they are in your city or town. They offer FREE phenomenal weekly tutoring using the gold standard method of teaching and aiding dyslexic readers (Orton Gillingham method). I have a dyslexic son and I also used to tutor with them. Free if you have a formal diagnoses of dyslexia. (register with your school to get that testing done) You may have to get on their waiting list but is well worth it. Will give you great skills and self confidence galore!
