In a cage
\nyou are a prisoner
\nyour freedom
\njust to stand
\nis taken from you
\nforcibly
\nand its hard to understand<\/p>\n
why you lost that freedom
\nwhen others clearly still
\nhave it in the forest
\nclimbing trees feelings
\nthat thrill<\/p>\n
but you, you have
\nbeen captured
\nyou did nothing wrong
\nyou were in the right place
\nat the wrong
\ntime, you belong<\/p>\n
anywhere but this place
\nthis tiny cage so cold
\nin this dark laboratory
\nwhere technicians always scold
\nme
\nhit me
\nhurt me
\nbruise me
\ncut me
\nleave me in this cage alone
\noften without water
\nthose seeds that I have sown<\/p>\n
never really helped me
\neach week those scalpels do
\ncut into my poor sore head
\nand the pain is really true<\/p>\n
and why is it they do this
\nfor some corporate specification
\nfor lipstick or for face cream
\nor other vile creation<\/p>\n
they stole me from my family
\nand AIR INDIA said Yes
\nother airlines all said NO
\ndespite what was a mess
\nI still was caGED and shipped
\ninto this nasty laboratory
\nwhere I was shaved and an electrode
\nwas implanted into me<\/p>\n
AIR INDIA and AIR France
\nyour coffers must be low
\nto let these BASTARDS buy into
\nyour freight Departments glow
\nblood money who needs
\nthe unethical to sell
\nany airline worth its salt
\nWould say you go to Hell
\nor get them to call a halt
\nsomething they’d do well<\/p>\n
to remember in the board room
\nwith the sitar and the raga
\nwith the chai in fine bone china cups
\ncooked up on some aga<\/p>\n
when the CEO smokes his cigar
\nand the cognac makes him choke
\nhe can realise that the profit
\nmade
\ncame via a darkly joke<\/p>\n
he a little primate
\nwas stolen from his tree
\nand shipped across the world
\nby Air India, the key<\/p>\n
shipper to Laboratories
\nof those of us, who found
\nthat we had yes been captured
\nand in a cage now on the ground<\/p>\n
Air India an airline
\nas prestigious as could be
\nwho carries souls, yes captured souls
\nto ths vile laboratory<\/p>\n
knowing we will undergo
\noperations for
\ncosmetic testing reasons
\nin the process be made sore<\/p>\n
be made to bleed
\nto suppurate
\nto fester and to cry
\nto lose my sleep
\nto sit and weep
\nand at sometime to die<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
