THE PRISON OF THE MIND

How bitter

this prison

built from

life with

our own

hands is

to inhabit.

Caged denizen

of our own

edifice, condemned

by our own

deeds and

the sentence

we gave:

Life,

to be wasted

as a jail

for its builder,

who still

cherishes as

the greatest treasure

the key

to the unlocked door.
