Sorry if I offended anyone with this one. I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder as of late. Has anyone else ever felt like an elephant being held down by a donkey!

Comments linger
On the threshold
What were you trying
To get through to me?

Mind searching
Thoughts roaming
My mind wrapped around
The endless ludicrisy
Of the obvious judgments
You hold of what you think
That you know about me

I tried that walk
That dance
Straddling the barbed wire fence
Between humanity and
Your self righteous and delirius
View of a world
That you think you know so well
Yes I tried the liberal
Self defeating
Whirlwind you call freedom

Just after you turned the key
On the lock of a prison door
That doesn't exist you say
except in the mind
And you take control of that world
As if you were navigating
the stars themselves
And it works for you there
In that world
Yep! I tried liberalism
turns out
it's not
my cup of tea!!!
Drink up

Wow. Very cool piece, not least because of the passion involved. It seems to portray a bird presented with the false freedom of a gilded cage but who payed attention to their own incredulity and decided not to play along any more, which is something I personally admire because I find slaves, that is twisted slaves of the mind, to be a disturbing form of suicide, fratricide, and genocide all at once.
