Terrarium Life

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 18, 2023 

Terrarium
life.
Small,
compact.
Full
of life.
Scurrying.
Place to
place.
Terrarium
drama.
Self
contained.
Big fish
little
pond.
Self
Importance.
Perspective
lacking.
Battles
fought.
King
of the
hill.
Button
pushing.
Power
brokers.
Pulling
levers.
Three
piece
suits.
Mayhem
reigns.
High
and
mighty.
Little
beasts.
Perspective
nonexistent.
Terrarium
enclosed.
