IN THE CAGE.

When your gaze settles In,
It will see them, those life
said heros, can't too make
sea catches, they even may
not read words right or pick
a fight to win, zero reflex.

When you are caged on
an error and every where
you turn, Is heavens high
Brick walls, baring up your
face. You'll now have to
act meek, look all around.

When you take pains, to
crouch low, stay down.
Stand up to them and you
make It even worse. You
will get beat on and degra-
ded or some things worse.

When they treat you like
animals, so act like you
are being tamed. Be the
dog, even they figured how
to get the Humans to feed
them and pick their wastes.

When you don't have the
freedom to choose, don't
face off with the warden.
Calmness never hurt the
soul, you might get that
early freeing for the goods.

When your mates see only
dragons and flying snakes
Yet you see caves and hid
tunnels, stay focused and
read the rooms, seasoned
mates may open up to you.

When in the cage, be aware,
trust and bonds can form,
but genuine allies are rare.
Having a good soul look out
for you, like a hawk day In
and out Is not an easy feat.

In the wild, not every thing
Is endangerd, the wolfs own
the night, they thread where
none other dares, but In the
cage, no one should bite the
fingers that feeds them, these
feeders also can be vampires.
