Shake the Cage

Berate and sing songs of ignorance
A heart so filled up with insolence
Carefree and unsung your cross to bear
Like a wasp in a jar just gasping for air
You shake the cage
The cage
Where once your words fell upon your plate
Through space and through time they permeate
We want to live a life less ordinary now
We want to take a bite and taste the cherry now
Your tongue longs for the bittersweet
Your tongue
