A Cage Built of False Reason
I step up to the cage
built of false reason.
The beast inside eyes
me as I finger the latch
Slowly I unlock the
cage and back away.
The beast steps out
shaking his head from side to side
He stretches and
steps forward
I step back
I fear this creature
The creature bares
its teeth
They gleam in the
night
Soon I’ve run out of
room
I feel the edge of
the cliff, a light breeze blows
I wonder if it would
be simpler to jump
To join the rest down
below
I look at the world
The animals there
have it easy
They know not of the
beast on the cliff
Ignorance is bliss
With a deep breath I
step forward
I am ready to face
the beast
Even in the darkness
I can see it smile
