Within A cage- Poem

Within a Cage

How can you
Lock me in a Cage,
Within a Cage,
For some misdeed done,
Within a Cage?
All you can do,
Is feed my rage.
You can’t teach me anything good,
Within a Cage . . .
Except Monsters control the Locks,
And in terror I’ve lost the keys.
Within a Cage,
I plead and pray,
But it simply gets worse,
Every day . . .
Within a Cage,
Animosity worsens,
Empathy is lost,
And
The Days turn into,
Daze . . .

Within a Cage.
