Richard Ferry Poet Rhyme

Locked In a Cage

Locked in a cage     With no key     Frightened faces      Is all I now see     Keep roaring my thunder     Through the bars     With a blinding fury     To cover the scars     Majestic and proud      Once roamed this land      As far as I could see      Was at my command      Lured into a trap      By lies and deceit     Caught in a snare      Hanging by my feet       Tamed by the whip     For public view      Now on display      At the city zoo    Keep roaring my thunder     All these years      With a blinding fury     To cover my tears

Poet Destroyer A April 16, 2013 at 9:19 PM Sad it is, Richard :-( why do you feel trap? Is there no way out? Sometimes keeping myself caged up keeps me in control. But this is not the case here. not the kind of furry to build on... thanks for sharing *PD* Richard Ferry April 16, 2013 at 9:37 PM No exit sign..Looks like this time I am here to stay..If I do find Mercurys wings once more. I will look you up....Your friend ..Rick
