Once strong men,
Now have flesh clinging to their glass bones.
Once proud women,
Now are forced to wait for liberating death.
Once playful children,
Now are humbled with a sense of starvation.
Once a free people,
Now with agency gone, are confined to a cage like tamed animals.
We were at one time care free,
Now sorrow, grief, and regret pierce our thoughts.
You ask, “Are we caged?”
We are caged.
Once filled with life,
Now it is like we are living dead.
Once our eyes twinkled with a spirit of light,
Now they’re dull and unreadable.
Once overflowing with passion,
Now our love is lost.
Once we didn’t know true pain,
Now we are consumed by it.
Are we caged?
We are caged…
We are caged.
