Life is the cage <br />We are all born into <br />The zoo <br />Drives down the long <br />Snake in the rain, <br />Everyone sits alone <br />In the park <br />In the car <br />In the theatre <br />Everyone sits alone <br />And looks through bars <br />Of their flesh and bone <br />No eager hand <br />can grasp out of this <br />No willing hand has the <br />Reach, <br />We touch our flesh <br />To the flesh of our cages, <br />We lay down chained <br />And little birds sing <br />Beside others miles away <br />And barking <br />We touch steering wheels <br />As the lights cross our eyes <br />We learn to believe <br />The birth of shadows <br />We drive, a line of slaves, <br />Down the road <br />Everyone sits alone.<br /><br />Robert Rorabeck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everyone-sits-alone/
