Chains

They act like foolish mice

lost in a maze,

with heart eyes, who only admire

and send praise;

so blown away, and

stuck in a dumb daze.

It’s amusing they excuse

your wicked ways,

and you can gladly starve

them all for days;

while smiling madly, not even fazed.

They’re dim and dull,

you need entertained.

You can’t help it, you think,

but don’t dare say,

to sustain your pointless little games;

that you can’t ever seem to abstain.

It’s the higher ground

you need to gain.

So lure them in enduring

your demented cage.

Provoke their wrath and

force them to cave,

spread your foul poison to

their every vein.

There’s no denying they’re enslaved,

locked tight in your chains.
