Monkey

I'm a monkey behind bars,
Tried to claw my way out and left these scars

I'm a monkey in a cage,
Bad actress naked and frozen on stage

I'm a monkey behind glass,
Knowing there has to be some greener grass

I'm a monkey in a zoo,
Stare at me and I stare right back at you
Gloat and glare at my debris
Still unaware that you're just like me
You've got two legs and much more room to walk
You've muscles in your mouth that let you talk
And yet you hide your words inside
You don't know what goes on outside
So come on, pretend you're content to be
In your chained up society
Bound and gagged in your free city.
You're a monkey behind bars,
I'm a person, unbound in my free me.

Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Fas, in the year 559 AD.
