Give a man a room
With a bed and an endless kitchen
And a door and a window
And he will live in the room
He may go outside often
But he will always come back
And maybe
In time
He'll bring back new things
And he'll add to the room
Take away the door
And he might stay in for months
Before he can't take it anymore
And climbs out the window
Never to return
Take away
The window and then door
And the man
Failing to break through the walls
Will either
Tear up the room with graffiti and flames
Or
Resign himself to a corner for weeks
Either way, he will destroy himself
If he has not way out
So it only makes sense
To give the man
A windows and a door
And to have a little faith in him
As he meets the world
