alive in cages

We put people into cages

Just to keep them alive,

Or we set them free,

Just to prove they can't escape the cage.

We play with their mind,

Because calling it torture,

Wouldn't play well with our mind.

An awareness of defense,

Means we've labelled our own aggression,

Self defense, we're just defensive.

We can't aggress against the concept,

I guess we inherited from the brutes,

That we survive, the fittest or not,

And call it evolution.
