what use is a long life If you never truly been loved?

being held in captivity holds safety
but in it depression lies deep
for what use is a long life
If you never truly been loved?
innocent is the last thing
on the list of names I would use
to describe myself
collared and with bitter resentment at the knowledge,
we've been trained phenomenally and perform under pressure
and do it well we love our country the government maybe not so much 
how long must I claw away at the stone walls of my life?
all I want is one simple thing ............. to be free
I'm no longer scared of what lies outside theses cold walls 
and this cage will no longer hold me
for what use is a long life
If you never truly been loved?

Political Poem

Like the shape of these writes. Thought provoking. 

 

Love country

hate three branches

of rule

Country is people

and land

vistas and history 

governance is just

the glue.
