The World Of Illusion

Just Like a bird in a guilded cage we are all
supposed to be free ? But are we really
free ? The answer is No !, in Australia we
are compelled to vote, we are fined if
we don't vote, as our governments make
laws that control our lifestyle, when life
was created by God he deemed all of us
were born equal, that being the case why
do we need a leader to govern as we are
all as good as each other, laws create
problems in society, and corrupts our
lifestyles. When society, tells us what we are
permitted to do and even what we say and
wear, is that freedom ?, the answer is No,
we live in a society were we are forced to
accept rules on our personal appearance,
it was alright for women to wear skirts and
men to wear long pants, and boys to wear
short pants all in the name of tradition
and this is dictating our lives, if we fail to
comply we are discriminated by society and
looked upon as anti socialists which in some
extremes can lead to civil unrest and world wars,
we are all prisoners of tradition and government
laws, we do things to please everyone except
ourselves and that is selfishness that needs to
change as people need to wear and look as they
wish. here are some examples these days women
can wear pants and men even wear skirts, they
are called kilts that Irish and Scottish soldiers
would wear into battles. Makeup only woman
wear allowed to wear, yet in very early times
men would wear make up, back in the Egyptian
dynasties. It was also the same in indian tribal
customs only men wore war paint, but it has
all changed. If a man wore lipstick in the street
today he would be laughed at as being gay or
a drag queen, yet circus clowns have done this
in there work amusing children, even actors
use it with no incriminations, so why can't
men and women have a say in what they
wear and how they dress and have nothing
said about it, if we were truly free we could
do all of this, but as long as discrimination
rules society we will always be forced to obey
tradition and follow the rules that suits a select
few and not the majority of the world we live in.
This explains my thesus that we are just like
that bird in a guilded cage, we seek freedom
but can never really be free. This is the order
of our society today.

We are all in a cage of some sort, sometimes its of our own making, sometimes its forced.
Like puts us in a cage and tells us how to act, its nice when someone breaks free and becomes unique, i agree with this:)

The cage can be a protection but as long as you find out it can be opened xox

To a large extent I agree, 'we are all prisoners of tradition...'

there are many ways we can incarcerate ourselves,
yet, if we individually know what holds us captive,
we can know what unlocks our torment,
and thus, we have access to that key...

I suppose the question then becomes, do we turn it clockwise or counter clockwise?

Beautifulyou, Interesting comments and I do agree with always having two choices A or B, in each case it could be the wrong one and you may regret your actions in either case, maybe the answer is a possible third option were you just can't lose, the unexpected, the unknown, life is built on a game of chance and the world could be totally changed by that one action, it is indeed a conundrum, but to not take an action will leave everything as it is, so it all comes back to the individual in the end. It is something to think about, all the best.

TY so much Cherry, I always dare to be different as I am a one of a kind person, I am here to entertain you with my poetry and my humour, which occassionally I will use to draw people's attention, please read "Ode to a Policeman" and you will see what I mean. So glad you like my poems, well some of them, as I tend to bend the rules of poetry sometimes, I am a bit of a comedian and use funny lines to inspire my fans. I don't believe poetry should be dull and boring, so this will never happen with me, I will always strive to entertain here, I also do poems based on current events and historical as well as poems from my own imagination, yes I may be a poet of poets, and you are one of my good friends and I will always stay true to you Cherry, all the best.
