MIRAGE

The minute you arrived in this intricate mesh
You were told you were this or you were that
Prepared for roles covered in symbols or words.
Your initiation began with rituals and a name
Most choices were made before you could get in the game.
It was good for you in many ways
But you've run along a long, with blinkers on
And you want to peer out and see what’s on the other end.
You want to see if other boxes are a better fit
You are met with disapproval that soon turns to resistance
You might even start a war with your curious innocence.
You are already boxed in.
Where do you stand?
Some are content with words they got.
Some are entangled in the maze of ideas and words.
Some are trying to chaff for truth in the mirage.
