A Tiny Box

A Tiny Box

We’ve been in a tiny box

Since we were born

Reading many books

Living in an illusion

Tired of being in a tiny box

Being pushed and squeezed

Seeing many tricks

By those who are privileged

We’re still in that tiny box

Dreaming of the new world

Where we can see our livestock

Grazing on the grass in a field

The most difficult questions

Will be answered by children

No more complex deceptions

All the pain will be forgotten

Isaiah 65
