Bruised and ****** arms restrained this criminal correctly blamed for trying to release another. Who not a friend nor a brother but thought it wrong to just let suffer. So together in a cage held conviction, suppressed rage, And whispered words in hopes to capture a nudging deep within the captor. Unconvinced but dismayed, their guardian then proclaimed, "when dogs are slaves, you've no regrets, yet misbehave when men are pets?"

Prisoner on Cannibal Island
Bruised and ****** arms restrained this criminal correctly blamed for trying to release another. Who not a friend nor a brother but thought it wrong to just let suffer. So together in a cage held conviction, suppressed rage, And whispered words in hopes to capture a nudging deep within the captor. Unconvinced but dismayed, their guardian then proclaimed, "when dogs are slaves, you've no regrets, yet misbehave when men are pets?"
A bit dark. It was inspired by the realization that many peoples explanation behind human value is completely subjective.
