Enclosed

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 04, 2019 

Position unique.
Circled, enclosed.
Complicated.
Granular, genetic
in nature.
Designed, evolved.
Expansive deep.
Covering everything.
Learn,
 takes time.
Learn, fail, learn
fail some more.
No choice, trapped.
Terrarium, dogma
Ignorance.
Rules apply. 
Rules apply
to all.
Power, control 
dominate.
Subjugate.
Survive, to
survive rules.
Learned, applied.
Shackles.
Shackled to reality.
Comply.
To the rules
comply,
learn comply.
To survive 
must comply.
No choice.
Enclosed.
Encircled. 
No choice.
