Jumping Through Hoops

It's what we do
Saying the obvious, expected things
Avoiding the common threads of conversation we are bound by

It's what we do
Jumping through hoops like trained circus animals
Performing for the audiance, as captivated by our performance
As we are by our chains

What would happen if the big top was lifted
If the greatest show on earth was interrupted by a storm of freedom
With the wild, untamed lands gaping before us

Would we trust our own instinct
Would we break the spell
Would we welcome the opportunity, the call to live in the environment we were created...

Or would we fear our own strength?

It's what we do
