Captive Beauty

 

Captive Beauty.
These fish in a tank, bird in cage.
What once was free flowing symbiosis.
The river is damned, taken as yours.
Desire to own, embraced, and engulfed.
Human pigs with want and reward take.
Dominating the landscape, mindscape.
Their words and ways convincing, appealing.
Their effect on the planet as a whole sickening.
It would be better undoubtedly if never.
Existed, but that is the test and challenge.
To realise our mental conditioning, and free.
To release the growth and profit one way.
Street, after street a death trap for runners.
The last of the free folk desperately scavenging.
Strangle hold turned, swiftly, inside out to serve.
