Wild Man Sits In a Gilded Cage

a wild man sits in a gilded cage a wild man sits in a gilded cage a cage made out of chains of his wife’s love a cage made out of chains of his wife’s love the wild man yearning to be free from his cage the wild man yearning to be free from his cage wondering how and why he was now tamed wondering how and why he was now tamed dreaming dark wild dreams of demented freedom dreaming dark wild dreams of demented freedom the wild man looks about his prison cage the wild man looks about his prison cage wondering whether he will ever be free wondering whether he will ever be free a wild man sits in a gilded cage
