Rise!
You are
outgrowing
that smaller shell;
Smash breakable glass!
It’s not fragile;
Cages were
never
real.
The man who puts kids in cages
Laughs at the folks it enrages
Whilst taxpayers bleed
Republicans need
Bilingual pedophile Pages
No matter how shabby it looks
The Caravan's not filled with crooks
Kids don't want to roam
They want a safe home
Where they can play whilst mother cooks!
Lucy didn’t have a thing to do
So, off she went to a nearby zoo
Studying the animals, most in cages
Lucy sang her freedom’s praises
What worth are you?
You deny all knightly sports.
You do not defend our walls.
I heal with no gold.
I free doves from steel cages.
I wait for heaven’s kingdom.
Think about those kids in cages
As the virus kills and rages
How comfy life is for me
I pray someone sets them free

Cages Trump Will Rattle
Have been conflicted by fighting a battle,
After all our cages Trump still does rattle;
Like little kid,
Who flipped lid,
And he like telling lies and on us will tattle.
Jim Horn
locked by tyranny
mocked by the masses
little children
little Jews
silver teeth
take away their shoes
the statue you see
is fake
Trumpets hide not
the fading of liberty
The kindest of souls
is ok
shout
above the showers

CAGES
trapped in
apparent spaces
power
extinguished
bird in a
forgotten
tree
building cages
safety nests
apparent
circumstances
placing bets
on novel lives
sunken
and clean
stuck in barb wire snares
itch itch itch
the language is
obscene
headbound in
freakish Atlantic
sea
© Kim van Breda—8 January 2016
Man seems most adept
when building His cages –
the farmer, his barns,
the banker, his vaults,
the priest, his coop of
verses...
Christ offers all freedom
of the Cross~ but few
will disrobe
come out
and be pierced –
Convinced cleansing by
the blood of another – such
Truth a physical cage –
the politician forging bars
of steel~ Satan will take due
at his grave.
Hold me back, she said
realizing that she'd be nothing
he always kept her safe.
In a gilded cage she flailed about,
unharmed and unscathed.
Leave me be, he shouted
nevermind what she wanted,
she never left time for herself.
His freedom caused him pain,
confused and alone.
Let me go, they decided
they'd had enough of one another
and the tortures they made up for themself.
Splash!
Down for another dive
But wait!
What is this?
No fish?
No turtles?
No sea life?
Just plastics
Plastics and dead coral!
Our oceans destoryed
My lifelong hobby gone.
Sea creatures kept behind glass
where grubby fat hands tap at them
staring with widened gazes
Sadness is not a strong enough word
Not strong enough to describe what we have done.
Protectors of the earth?
More like destroyers of habitats.
Don't let this nightmare become truth.
