As I sit and look


As I sit and look at the fence I began to realize the world is twisted

 

Everything around us is encaged inward.

 

Nothing in this world is free.

 

Everything is surrounded or trapped

 

Little squares are the cause to          the insanity of people

But follow its rules….
