Zoos

The beasts who live inside the zoo,
Who aren't so dull as you believe,
Conclude at last they won't be saved.
They will not see their homes again.
The bars and walls are what they'll
Know, and some of them are fine
With that. Free meals, no predators,
No cares. Is life in prison all that bad?
The Muslims stuck in Bangladesh,
The Syrians in Greece and Turkey,
Gazans trapped in Gaza, Venezuelans
In Columbia, must ask that question
Every day, and most will answer,
“Yes.”
