Untitled Poem

It is only a cage when it echoes the mind,
forced and controlled with all hope left behind.
What is a cage but a defined space, a place
with boundaries that cannot be crossed.
In hypnotic trance, imprisonment brings
more and more submissive entrapment.
The physical aspect reinforces the mental.
Weakness becomes ingrained and central
to action and need. Nature becomes more animal
and dependence becomes more complete.
In slavery, the cage is divorced from sensuality.
It is all about power and control.
The one who is let out is not released.
The cage still contains his soul.
