Sometimes

Sometimes 

It is as if we live in a cage

Of societies age

All throughout an endless rage 

It can take a hold of you or me 

All to easily

If we cease to see

How can we ever know 

Of this friendless foe

Once so long ago 

In this story of woe

Ya know how each person has a conscious mind and an unconscious...
Well, CG Jung noticed that society has a collective conscience and a collective unconscious.
In order to get people into the collective, they are sometimes "caged" just as this poem suggests.Yes, and this problem is quite old, goes back to the start of civilization. Well at least now we know who this "friendless foe" is, yup, just about everyone! Nice thinking, nice write.

I agree, society cages us sometimes. My favourite lines were :
"... How can we ever know
Of this friendless foe ..."
Very well executed.

Reminds me of my own poem I wrote about the way society confines and restricts individuality, "Anxiety of Society".

A good write :]

Society does put us in cages. Great poem.
