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
