So what

Take a look, you won’t see the sky

Don’t even try, your wings are clipped

You’ve tripped, and no one will coax

It’s all a hoax and you’ve been duped

So what? Won’t you fight or try again?

Just plain walkout won’t look heroic

It’s a trick and the clever trickster wins

He spins a web and you were caught

Logic is the new god and can be spun

Out of turn? Well, not really if you think

Just a wink can make your day, they know

And show you what you want to see.

hmm... very post-colonial ... strongly reminiscent of the Ananse myth of Ghanaian origin. innovative imagery... the felt experience is reflected strongly ;) good job... as always, waiting for more :)

A seemingly effortless figment of thought...but does the trick it intends to.
Good work!
