The Ringmaster

I feel like I'm stuck in a cage
Panting. Pacing. Hungry. Waiting.
Bubbling over with quiet rage
Gnawing. Pawing. Biting. Hating.
Or on display at some circus
Lights. Camera. Action. Perform.
An abused and toothless carcass
Shackled. Beaten. Broken.Conform.
With a spotlight and in the ring
Cheering. Music. Laughter. Silence.
The coward with whip thinks he's king
Leaping. Tearing. Maiming. Violence.
(He was wrong).
