Lost in a cage

 

Freedom feels priceless. 

Price is freedom. 

For price breeds freedom; 

Freedom has a price. 

Price breeds insanity 

But this price cures humanity. 

Price kills humanity – 

There’s no freedom in a cage. 

It’s the price that we pay, 

The price laid down for us, 

The walls surrounding us, 

The doors enslaving us, 

The curse engraved in us. 

Be a MAN I beseech you 

A little time can only teach you. 

What’s the price of freedom now? 

I hear the trickle of every pound. 

What’s the price your prepared to pay? 

I watch the time gently drip away. 

This time can only make me 

Only I can ever break me 

Real freedom lives within 

But this space is wearing thin. 

Give me a pound, now take it away! 

I kneel, 

I tear, 

Now hear me, I pray.
