The Prison Man Carries

To imprison one’s self is unjust. It is to ourselves which we show the slightest mercy. We condemn generations to be the product of cruelty.

If an inmate births an inmate, incarcerated blood will flow. Heavy, it sinks.

With time, those who know no other reality mistake confinement for freedom and cells for homes. Accepting life as a punishment instead of a blessing. How very human of us to allow populations to be plagued by such ignorance.

To see reason in the unreasonable. We have made Earth our Alcatraz and forgotten the natural face of freedom.

We take pride in being a superior species at the top of the food chain. This belief makes our constant belittling of all other species completely understandable. We have become oblivious that in our vanity and ignorance, we have created a crucial mistake in our self-knowledge.

The food chain passed down through iron bars was handed to us upside down, placing humans at the bottom, equivalent to what we would consider self-reproducing bacteria.

Not only by rank in efficiency but by the importance of the survival of the Earth.
