A Societal Cage



A Societal Cage

Oh wonderful contempt that powers hatred
Allows me to look beyond the physical and witness their corrupted souls
Greed and self-destruction is their hellish creed
Small people without curiosity and nearsightedness their master

In their small world they feel secure
Rising to smug self-satisfaction they’re so smug
A world where mommy and daddy hug
A world that’s a comfortable plush rug

Arrogance and hubris is their virus
Reaches a fever at pitch Celsius
And they feel safe and loved when saying “mommy” or “daddy”
Will they ever mature to be self-secure?

This veneer that hides their frustrations
Behind curtained windows they peer at broken conventions
A yearn to be free but it’s too late
And anyway, what would daddy say, even tho’ they’re forty-three
