The Mafioso

The mafioso
points the
barrel of a
DE 357
at the skull
of every
innocent,
and smiles
malevolently.

Freedom does
not exist,
there is only
slavery.

No matter what,
you live your life
in a holding cell.

Heaven is a cage,
gilded and not on fire.

Life is a cage enough,
bound by physical laws,
so why should we
hold ourselves
further hostage?

Because we like to be slaves,
because we always serve something.

Welcome to the circuit,
so start it up again.

What are your thoughts about freedom?

Brilliant analytical piece. Nicely stated how when we really look at our humanity without the blinders we find that our mentality, society, and choices bind us in chains as sturdy as hardened steel. I liked the part about the heaven not being on fire therefor a cage as well. Well stated.
