Zoochosis Poem by Shane Joshua Thomas

I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A ZOO!
I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A ZOO!
THE SADNESS OF THE ZOO HAS FALLEN UPON SOCIETY,
SOCIETY IS THE DISEASE OF THE ZOO.
LET US REINFORCE THE COLLECTIVE,
DEMARCATE THE PURE FROM THE PROFANED;
THE REPUGNANT FROM THE BEAUTIFUL,
AND MAINTAIN THE LIE THAT WE ARE WHOLE.

I PACE UP AND DOWN CAGES,
LIKE ANYONE ELSE,
BUT ONLY I CAN FEEL THE BARS.

I HAVE NO LOVE FOR THIS PLACE;
I'M GONNA JUMP OFF THE WORLD BRIDGE
FOR LIBERTY AND FAITH.
