The Glass Menagerie
Witness our depravity
To creatures big and small
Locked up in captivity
To entertain us all
When hunted down and staged
In jungles where they roam
Then quickly bound and caged
And taken from their home
No longer wild and free
They lose their sense of pride
With days of misery
They slowly die inside
As they accept their fate
We revel in their drudgery
What hopeless eyes await
Behind the glass menagerie
