caged or free range

I’d like to jot a historic note One of truths and one where facts remote Find the facts; here’s your game One is true and the other defames I’m an elephant at a zoo On display, with something to prove Fake and force fed to stay alive Forced and caged I’d rather die I’m an elephant at a zoo With a trunk full of water Blowing straight crap out my mouth, Not fit to be a father Not actually that unique And more of a bother Not ready for life I’d like to be out But used to being sheltered Owned by someone but feel headstrong I’m a big strong mammal with weak wavelengths Brains a peanut and heads down ashamed If life’s a zoo then I’m on the main stage I’m a free gazelle Headlights a wonder Ankles are weak from birth after mother spotted and brown my consciousness is splattered I’m free to be me yet shot at the same There’s perks to free range But rents like open season Going to be broke by august Hit my heart without a fine given or any reason I don’t know what those lights are and why do they move quickly? Why am I on a hood? Where am I going? What is my purpose what’s this mantle they speak of? My heads now on a rack and my eyeballs are marble I can’t see my pain or feel my legs But atleast I chose this route and tried to cross that street Instead of being spoon fed;  lesson learned I suppose Life’s like a cage I’d rather be out then in a box decomposed
