Golden Cage by Nicole Terry golden cage on a silver stage theatres a world gone astray   guarded by soldiers dressed in black waving banners of blue and white they lie and wait   on an eastern desert, they play with a people occupied at bay and this people waits for the west to blow them away   so the golden cage can buy more peace and common gain sold! an innocent nation gone the battles wagers on between the buyers of Babylon and the children of truth a war that tears the soul apart   behind mass weapons, the beast hides while an arrogant empire, glimmers inside a new order on the rise   its her childrens’ belief and their faith in her smoke and mirrored fate now we run, but we’re safe the force of one Will, she’ll die the golden cage on a silver stage fuelled by the power of its slave we know will soon annihilate when no more gold on an empty stage the age of Ignorance eliminates finally, true Liberty can stay  © Copyright 2008 Nicole Terry ALL RIGHTS RESERVED   [back to Poems] [Sensual Poetry]
