Is this all I am to you
Just an object in a cage
Here only to be gawped at
Never allowed to engage
Well let me tell you something
That I know to be true
How from my prison I can see
The only animal here is you
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Is this all I am to you
Just an object in a cage
Here only to be gawped at
Never allowed to engage
Well let me tell you something
That I know to be true
How from my prison I can see
The only animal here is you

On the outside, looking in then. Good!

Once in my travels, I chanced upon a dragon
chained to a log right next to a cabin.
I released her, high she did soar.
I teared, knowing I would see her no more
Now she perches on my shoulder
Free to go, as she pleases. Occasionally, she flies and lands on highest boulder, she pecks at my noggin, how she gently teases.
The pentameter is bad, message oh so clear, release the winged ones and they soar ever near.

Wow. This is some phenomenal poetry. Just mind-blowing. I love the effortless rhyme, and the reversal of roles in the poetry.

Ah, the truth as seen when your eyes are opened. Very nice, TLC! It reminded me of this exchange in one of mu favorite movies, “TheKing of Hearts”
“Brother, yesterday
you were in an asylum!
Are you jealous?
And you, Mr. King, yesterday…
you were outside
with ”the others.””

Thanks for the great poem! 👍 I watch the movie every couple of years. It is still relevant and funny. I prefer the subbed version to the dubbed. I hope you can find it. 😁
