Cages
Multiple levels of cages
Emotional, physical.
Likes and dislikes and
Many levels of pretension
Graded acceptances
Of degraded morals
And stages of superiority
Pushed to hide the inferiority
Complaining of the divinity which was refused
Even though you never even knew divinity
Which was Truth and simplicity.
But you only knew how to hide a lie in complexity.
Never knowing truth never dies.
The difference is the size of the cage.
We are all caged and pretend to be free.
