Caged Nightmare

 

My kind resides
outside the lines
drawn by
the authorities
of this uptight society

We are
by all conventional
respectable
definitions
considered
marginal types at best

Nihilists to be tolerated
but always isolated
and kept at arms length
as freak show players
to be tagged and caged
as to not infect the power dynamic
of the insulated populace
from our peculiar brand
of anti social behavior
their experts label aberrant 

Their soul choking restrictions
we grudgingly accept
for now
as we acquiesce 
to the cruel whims
of the current
alpha mutts

But we know
the wheels
of change do turn

Revolutions ferment
right under the nose
of the obliviously arrogant

So we bide our time
behind these iron bars
til that glorious day
critical mass is reached 
when we freaks
will outnumber 
and overwhelm
the now freaked out 
lost grip populace
who will be taught a lesson
in the payback terror
of reversed repression
