TRAPPED:

We are all extensions of other beings

Made up purely from their imagination

Trapped in a box

Filled with situations of endless issues

Which we yearn to solve. 

Yet, we are unable to push

This box

Our holding place to its limitations

It seems able to do just 

That to us though. 

Everything, everything we

Believe in and have created

Was in our original beings'

Minds first before sinking

And passing around to us. 

The other parts

Are make believe. 

Our fun little acting game 

Becomes what we name

As our society

Our home. 

Yet, when you think

About it

It seems more of a prison

Yet with no sight 

Beyond the box

And our beings not sending

Information on these matters to us

We are left in the dark. 

Forever to stay

In this box

Giving its limitations new names

Adding our own new limitations

To the list. 

Everyone sharing the same thought processes

No questions 

Need to be asked

No survey form 

Needs to be carried out

This is a basic fact 

We like ignoring

For it offends the platform

We place ourselves up on.
