A Prison of Our Own
As you look into the windows of the cell block
Through the socket of tiers
The gunmen at its temple
The years of abuse carved into the body
Of this young yet aged building
Signifying who stands there
Eyelids form bars
That keep us caged in
This dungeon
That can barely hold itself together
With cobwebs & best wishes
Imaginary fences form the space
That should never be violated
Signs of aggression
Will cause immediate action to be taken
Hundreds of personalities doing time
Asking the conscience they all share
Why haven't I been set free?
