we are all elegant fury
and dismantled dreams
we rage
against a broken system,
caged birds kept behind
man-made borders
we sought the gardens
of tomorrow
and found ourselves bound
to the mistakes of yesterday,
unwilling accomplices
in the age of impostors
and now, we are addicted
to prozac promises and xanax lies
because we can’t swallow
the bitter truth
that change will never happen
if we can’t break free
