A bigger cage

The bug of what we know withers
in the field of what we could
as
the serpent of inception slithers
tucked
behind a shield of-
-would-
-you dare provoke an idle thought
repression the scheme seemed honed and taught

A thought that never settles
a mind that only could
compromise cries tar and feather
truth becomes a question of-
-would-
-you dare provoke the papacy
he's wearing the hat as god incarnate

How can men be fruitful
when their acts are futile
and all we ask is a bigger cage
