The stars are holes punched in the lid of the Mason jar in which we are trapped.

Some of the larger insects have tapped the barrier,

But none have ever escaped.

 

My aspirations are smaller:

I just hope this giant kid keeps feeding us.

Cynical, amusing in a pessimistic way with the undertones of a sarcastic voice taking over from mocking those wishing to escape.
Different levels on a parallel with society today, government and rebel runaways with the desire to re-define freedom, and those who just hope we continue to have the rights we can hold onto.

Very blunt, but beautiful. I love the imagry, and the line "I just hope this giant kid keeps feeding us." A nice sarcastic comment to start my evening...

Funny...brought me back to times when I was a child and use to
catch insects in a jar:))

[Jūdan FyreHeart]

A little.. polite and philosophical for you lol.
Of course it's very good, the opening line certainly made me smile

[Kenneth The Poet]

Very nice indeed.
