A+ A- |
Shackled to a wall
In a prison that houses its makers.
Lightening flows through bodies
Jerking in tormented ecstasy.
Lights and shadows
Play a mockery of life;
A wretched audience
Held in thrall.
There are no guards.
The prisoners hold the keys.
Captives remain caged
By their own fear of life.
