Jailbirds
Oh, How broken wings equate with welded bars!
Constant calling muffled by apathetic metal
The caged bird is hopeless...
Oh, How the virulent idea infects its pure mind!
Insanity induces grave self harm
The caged mind is deteriorating...
Oh, How a coporeal coffin ensnares a silvery soul!
Marred mercilously by multiple cages
The caged soul is mourning
No! the calling and the beating ceases
No sound from the cage persists
The caged prisoners' sentences have ended
I know why the caged birds stopped singing
