Invisible chains
drags broken souls into a dungeon
where one sleeps
among the vipers of acid dreams.
Rising above the darkness
so proud
by clinging to the lead weight applause
pounding against the chest,
thinking the pain is liberty's price
for avoiding the dungeon screams.
Meanwhile,
still in the dungeon,
some flutter inhaling
a pure wind of contentment for their release.
Free is a word that never fears walls
or is deceived into thinking it comes
at a bridge to enslaving lucre chambers,
where blindness
of dependency on approval
is a life sentence.
