Boxes

By theXkevorkian

Boxes :

We are all trapped by little boxes ....
Some are big ..
Some are small . .
Some aren't even boxes at all ..

In boxes we drive ..
In boxes we dress ..

In boxes we love ..
In boxes we confess ..

In boxes under the ground ..
In boxes we the insects ...

In boxes we live
and we die ..
All these boxes
make a mess ....

So beware of little boxes son ..

Them boxes they opress ..

Don't make the lil boxes boy ..

The places you like best .....

A former member wrote: Nice... so many times I thought similar thoughts... all the right angles... all the frames.... like we're putting ourselves in mugshots, in squares and bars... like we are afraid to be free.... like we need to be in a safe somewhere. Nice write, thoughtful, clever... and warning well put.
