A Shadow Play in the Cave

Fire dances ballet in the window
Can’t see a source only the graceful light
Tongues flicker like my insubstantial pain
The raking fingers of this false delight

Shadows dance on walls in this ancient cave
Playing roles to entertain, wrapped in chains
We dance our way into an early grave
Till we rise from the ground, hungry for brains

Zombie fate unless we shred the shadows
Break the fetters and start to climb towards
An indistinct mirage, watch as it grows
Seize the camera and speak your own words

Unquestioning acceptance is the trap
Key knowledge hidden in the form of rap
