INTRO

Majestic fur locked in a zoo’s habitat. Bengal stripes on display where the folks gather at.
giant claws with fearsome jaws to flatten flat: Equipped were both upon the awesome cat.
The fact that it’s encapsulated nature captivated the savor of man’s favor upon the earth,
Paying for bathing in the power of enslaving another living creature since its birth,
Still in yet, few and far between were the days that the noble beast ever felt confined.
Because as long as he made the human children smile, the thought never crossed his mind

Visualize: 7 years later….

The cold rainy weather soaked his fur; chills ran down his emaciated frame
The zoo was empty of plenty, the workers stopped caring, preparing for blame
No pitter patter of field trip’s feet, no family outings of value-infused morality
Yes this zoo was history, flawless victory, and Socrates the tiger was owed fatality
The rain beat upon him callously; he whimpered and moaned in agony
Then closed his eyes to die, but instead he entered the spirit realm magically:


SOCRATES’ JOURNEY TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Socrates sprawled across the pinnacle of the mountain overlooking the city
The air up there was rare, purposed, briskly brushing his coat, swiftly,
It gained force and changed course, going up and under and lifting
Transporting to where the humans blundered through their living….
He saw a man, with lines of worry etched in his face, with a decrepit stench caked
Sleeping on the dirty street, with no shoes on his feet, begging as hunger’s template
Was shown a woman of beauty, huge breasts, seduction, her function’s men relate
While she would gyrate inside of cages on the stages of a club called “hell’s gate”
Caught a vision of a young man with a plan to rule the land by his hand in a scam
Then robs another of his earned pensions, by being the wolf disguised as a lamb
Socrates was shown a young boy who was scared to go to bed, with urine he would wet it
Cuz drunk dad would come home and make him give him head, beaten, and called pathetic
Caught a glimpse of the politician who calls his wife, says: “honey I will be late w/ work”
Then called in his secretary for some elected “very” adulterous demons to lurk
The trip through the city continued, Socrates was given a glimpse of a young woman crying
In her hands is a letter from the military, saying that war was the cause of her love dying
Socrates was transported to a psych ward, where men acted as the beasts, turned zombie
Saw a morbidly obese man shoveling food after food into his face, lived in waste, sloppy.
Was brought to a drug den, and saw men, unconscious, unkempt, women of prostitution
Saw a preacher preaching hate, to educate his take upon the solution.
Was taken to the streams which now teems full of chemical pollution
And then a normal man, who lived quietly amidst all of this confusion
he saw walk into his apartment, silently sob and write a note thanking no one for anything
Then pulled his revolver from the drawer, aimed for his cranium, cocked, and let it ring.

In a flash, Socrates was back in the cold and rain, and was returned to his pain of life
He now smiled and purred in contentment as the universe turned off his strain of light
In his final breath he had discovered the greatest secret that was hidden amongst the ages,
It was that the human beings were in fact the prisoners, but they just lived in bigger cages
