Cage

M.E.M.

Cold metal,

fused together.

Hinges hold an opening.

 

But it does not answer to you.

The master,

the hand that which holds the key,

 

You mustn’t fear,

I keep you safe within here.

Its metal surrounds you, yes.

But for your safety.

 

I hold none against their will.

Be free to leave—

Wait. Not yet.

You are safer in there.

 

Do not chance fate,

for you are special to me.

As I said I hold none against their will.

Come and go as you please,

but just

Not

Yet.

    Diabolical and chilling write, M.E.M.!

    Love your poem. How many times have we been told by parents, teachers, people in power, governments: It's for your own good. Is it really?
