Chapter 177

Cage

The cage holds us
The cage is where we live
No more freedom
Life strained through a sieve

Saved from the wild
Everyday the same
Eat sleep work
Now we are tame

Hands on the bars
We rattle the cage
No one cares
When we cry out in rage

Trapped stuck imprisoned
We know what to expect
Even though a dreary captive
From ourselves the cage does protect

When danger abounds
To the cage we return
Security comfort familiarity
For our Master we yearn

Nobody
