The Zoo

The tiger crouches along the sides,

Looking out, watching the people go by,

Why, what have I done to deserve this?

 

The life of loneliness,

Trapped, bored of the same surroundings,

The running, fast but slow

Not being able to go anywhere, 

 

Outside the glass wall,

Someday, to see the rest of what falls
