Rage Poem by Terry Searcy

The anger rolls through my veins as I look at my life
This life has become nothing short of a life sentence
The dream is dead and I am a fraud
I put a smile on my face and inside I am dying
I mutter encouraging words to others and my life streams out of control
I am known for my craft and still feel no honor or pride
The absent of cages does not deter me from the truth
They chain us and demand from us our lives and we smile and give all
We are blind deaf and dumb and have the freedom of mice scurrying through our day
We vote for the thieves as they lie to us day in and out
The power is all they want and they lead us as a follower
They ignore our complaints and change our lives for there happiness
