   Seeing a lion trapped in a zoo may distress me to know end.   
   Seeing people as if they were kept captive against their will as well.   
      
   Kinda reminds me of rat parks.   
      
   A rat in a cage prefers getting high, when alone   
   with nothing to do and not appreciating having nothing to do.   
      
   When with others of its kin, those who were addicts may find   
   being able to play in the park is kinda like being free, totally.   
      
   Now-a-daze, kids at home are virtually connected.   
   Space and time mean little to them, in theory.   
      
   Having knowledge at the finger-tips or voice-command,   
   the world is their oyster, and problems a grain of sand.   
      
   - of a mind game ...
